Among the pillars of the NCGA Foundation is the ongoing effort to grow the game through junior and youth golf development.

For those juniors and younger players, that means spending some time not only on the driving range and practice greens but also devoting time to honing the mental side of golf.

Earlier this year, multiple PGA Tour players participated in our first video at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to get some tips.

We check in with the LPGA Tour who were in the Bay Area for the Fortinet Founders Cup. Thank you to the multiple players and NCGA Hall of Famers who participated in our video.

 

 

We hope this helps, and just so you know, many of the tips can be applied to us older players as well.

The NCGA established its original foundation more than 35 years ago to support and grow the game of golf, including launching and expanding Youth on Course. This year, the NCGA created a new NCGA Foundation dedicated to using golf as a unifying force for good—enriching society through the game’s unique values. The Foundation champions programs that strengthen the future of golf by engaging youth and other deserving communities, while bringing Northern California golf organizations together around shared goals.
