The past few years have been challenging ones. However, we have been greatly encouraged by the young golfers who have persevered despite negative circumstances. This side of the pandemic, even more students are exploring what golf can mean for them, but costs have increased exponentially.
As we look to the future, FOG remains committed to helping more children of all ages to enjoy the character-building game of golf. Some may be future business leaders, first responders, doctors, scientists, or other noble professions. They deserve our support in their formative years.
Please join us in contributing what you can to make a positive difference in their lives. Thank you in advance for giving from your heart and helping to keep the dreams of young golfers alive.

SENTIMENTS FROM THE FAIRWAY
The kindest words in any language are “Thank You!”
At FOG, we hear these words almost every day. The coaches, players, parents and teammates of those FOG helps the most are very vocal and enthusiastic in their response to FOG’s crucial and continual support of all young golfers. Their many e-mails, letters and other sincere personal expressions are a constant reinforcement that we at FOG are doing the right thing for many youths today.
