Diamonds in the Rough – Programs

Tools of the Trade
Providing kids with the equipment and introductory instruction needed to experience the lessons that golf has to teach.

Golf is a unique sport in that those who enjoy the game and make their living through golf are always eager to give back – showing their appreciation for the help they received as they were coming along. Diamonds in the Rough networks with pros and amateurs and matches them with aspiring golfers to help the younger ones get on the right track.

 
Up To Par
Helping children with physical, learning, or emotional limitations to develop good habits and achieve a sense of success with and through golf. Many kids are unable to participate in contact sports and golf is an excellent option for them.

Young people with medical or learning issues that prevent them from activities which encourage self-confidence and hard work, are ideally suited to the game of golf. Whereas, transplant, chemotherapy, and other medically challenged patients could never consider contact sports, the basic elements of the game of golf (putting, chipping, and hitting) are things that can be done on a gradient scale. The staff of Diamonds in the Rough have years of experience in dealing with children in such circumstances, and have successfully helped to integrate them into the sport of golf.

 
Staying on Course
Providing access to driving ranges and golf courses in order to put newly learned skills into practice.

Anyone who plays golf knows how costly the sport can be. Thus, one major aspect of Diamonds in the Rough is to eliminate this consideration for our participants. By contracting with local clubs and driving ranges, we make it easy for our “Diamonds” to regularly practice and perfect their game.
