• Development of young golfer's skills and enjoyment of the game.
  

TO MEET THESE OBJECTIVES THE FOUNDATION AMONGST OTHER WAYS:

• Solicits support and donations from individual and corporate bodies, the R & A, other golfing bodies, golf professionals, suppliers of golf equipment and member clubs of the KGU.
• Organises competitions and coaching schemes.
• Facilitates International participation for leading juniors at International events.
• Involves golf clubs and schools in recruitment and participation.

HOW CAN THE CLUBS HELP THE FOUNDATION IN ITS OBJECTIVES?

• Appointing a junior golf convenor who will meet and exchange ideas with convenors from other clubs.
• Create a junior golf section at their club and facilitate coaching and competitions.
• Appointing a junior golf captain among the pool of juniors. Such captainship exposes a young person to leadership skills, organizational ability and is a strong plus when sourcing for scholarships.
• Handicapped junior golfers should be encouraged to play in full competitions and the FOUNDATION recommends that they be awarded any prize should they WIN IT ON MERIT.
