BEGINNER EDUCATION PROGRAM
Welcome2Golf
Your guide to starting golf with confidence. Welcome2Golf is a free educational platform developed by NGF Education that addresses the questions, concerns, and uncertainties that often discourage people from giving golf a try.
Why Welcome2Golf
Starting something new can be intimidating, especially a sport with as much tradition and etiquette as golf. Welcome2Golf was created to break down those barriers. We address the real questions beginners have: What do I wear? How much does it cost? Will I slow everyone down?
Whether you are a newcomer eager to give golf a try or someone dusting off your clubs after time away, Welcome2Golf meets you where you are. Our content is designed to be consumed at your own pace, in whatever format suits you best.
Learning to play golf is a two-part adventure: learning how to swing the club, and everything else. Welcome2Golf is all about the “everything else.”
