We conduct two free golf clinics throughout the year introducing the game of golf to 7th and 8th graders at Middle Schools. The TOT program selects kids based on attitude, enthusiasm, talent, skill level, and the other criteria. These boys and girls will enter into the TOT weekly golf program and begin their journey to becoming a competitive junior golfer. Our 8-level program takes five months to complete. We build teams of 12 kids 13 & under to compete in the nationwide PGA junior summer league. A select few will join and compete in the LA County Junior Golf tournament program and the Southern California PGA Junior Golf tournament schedule. The TOT program will continue to work hard through the summer grooming these kids for success as they transition into high school golf. PGA professionals will continue to mentor and coach these kids while competing on their high school golf team. Our long range goal is to see these boys & girls continue on to play NCAA college golf.

Our program also includes children within foster care, juvenile hall, and kids with special needs . We are an inclusive golf and STEM program, able to accommodate any and all needs. If a child can hold a golf club, we can teach him/her this great game of golf.
