SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) – Bank of America recently
announced the launch of Golf with Us, a new initiative designed to grow the
next generation of golfers.
Golf with Us offers youth, ages 6 to 18, a free
one-year membership to Youth on Course, courtesy of Bank of America. Enrollment
in the program is open until May 24 and includes access to thousands of courses
in 97 markets for $5 or less per round. The courses are in the Youth on Course
network.
“When kids get involved in sports, they learn
first-hand about achieving their goals and develop lifelong skills that help
them thrive,” said David Tyrie, president of marketing, digital and specialized
consumer client solutions. “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.”

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.

“Golf has the power to shape young lives in incredible
ways – not just through the sport itself, but through the friendships,
confidence and opportunities it creates,” said Youth on Course Chief Executive
Officer Adam Heieck. “Through this partnership with Bank of America, we’re
making it possible for more kids across the country to step onto the course and
discover what’s possible. This partnership is about more than just golf; it’s
about opening doors and changing futures.”
