Bank of America launched “Golf with Us” Tuesday in an effort to grow the next generation of golfers.
The initiative offers youth ages 6-18 a free one-year membership to Youth on Course, a California-based nonprofit that provides young people with access to life-changing opportunities through golf.
Enrollment in the program is open until May 24, and includes access to thousands of courses in 97 markets.

“When kids get involved in sports, they learn first-hand about achieving their goals and develop lifelong skills that help them thrive,” David Tyrie, president of marketing, digital and specialized consumer client solutions for Bank of America, said in a statement. “By working with Youth on Course to help make golf more accessible, we’re helping grow the sport while also making a positive impact in our communities.”
Through “Golf with Us,” Bank of America also will bring unique instructional opportunities to youth in select markets throughout the spring, summer and fall by hosting a series of free clinics featuring professional golfers, athletes and celebrities with a passion for golf.
Program membership also includes a registered handicap index in the United States Golf Association’s Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) system, continued development, as well as learning opportunities.
Interested families can enroll in Youth on Course and learn more about the “Golf with Us” offer at BofA.com/GolfwithUs.
