I AM a Golfer Foundation

The I AM a Golfer Foundation was formed in 2018 with a mission to be a catalyst for community renewal and transformation in south Dallas through the programming, preservation, and promotion of the historic Cedar Crest Golf Course. Our founding pillars are Instruction, Jobs, and Scholarships.

Under the I AM a Golfer pillar, IAMGF provides affordable golf programs for youth, organizations, and schools in the southern Dallas community. Youth members (age 7-17) under this program receive first-class, PGA instruction and playing opportunities at little-to-no cost. These opportunities include weekly clinics, special events, PGA Jr. League, Operation 36 challenges, NTPGA Junior Tour events, and more.

Under the I AM an Intern pillar, IAMGF provides paid internships to local high school and college students, ages 16 to 22, at Cedar Crest Golf Course. The IAMGF’s comprehensive internship program offers youth in the southern Dallas community an opportunity to gain real-world work experience in the golf industry and to develop skills that are necessary to succeed in any career field.

Under the I AM a Scholar pillar, IAMGF provides college scholarships to students who participate in the Foundation’s Internship program and to local Dallas Independent School District students who participate in the Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation’s Fairway to Success Program.
