The AJGA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

American Junior Golf Association

There are many youth that are prohibited from playing high-impact school sports, like basketball and football, because of mild disabilities like sickle cell or artificial joints, just to name a couple. Playing sports is a huge morale booster and exercise benefit. A Perfect Swing Foundation (501c3) looks to introduce these and other youth to the game of golf as a low-impact alternative sport while providing workshops and events to enhance their leadership, communication, and networking skills. Playing golf will help boost their morale and get them moving. This will impact their overall health and wellness, as well as their outlook on life. Additionally, this will allow them to compete in school competitions and potentially earn a college scholarship, as well as potentially play professionally one day.

Harris Park proposes to provide 120 children with golf instruction and 780 additional children and adults with free
access to the award-winning Harris Park Pitch &amp; Putt golf course, located in urban Kansas City, MO. Golf instruction,
paired with life skills education, is provided by The First Tee. Additional instructors from local colleges hold special
classes on Tuesdays for children who are part of the Boys &amp; Girls Club of Kansas City. People from all over Kansas
City come to play on our course.
Harris Park uses sports to draw families in and provides many programs and services that contribute to good health.
While children are in golf programs, yoga classes are in session for parents. Some parents also prefer to walk our trail
or take younger kids to the playground in the park, or simply enjoy our green spaces.
Harris Park, a private, 501c3 park, is the only green space in the area. The park was created after redlining and the
following disinvestment left an entire city block condemned over several years. For much of the city’s history, Kansas
City’s public parks were used as buffer zones that reinforced segregation and cultural boundaries. Until nearly 2020,
little investment was made in parks on the east side. As a nonprofit founded and run by a life-long member of the
community, Harris Park presents the only safe green space that is truly owned by the community.
Harris Park’s golf and other sports programming presents the opportunity for community members to develop healthy
habits and participate in sports that are often available only in wealthier communities. Harris Park aims to “Change the
Game” and make golf and good health accessible to everyone.

In 2021, the Lowcountry chapter of the Stand Up and Play Foundation developed a groundbreaking Golf Therapy program designed to help Emergency Responders who have suffered injuries, illnesses, or challenges whether they occurred in the line of duty or after serving and protecting. The dependents of emergency responders are also encouraged to attend. We believe that a program like this has been needed for many years.
The program was co-founded by a medically-retired firefighter by the name of Josh Swindle who was paralyzed in the line of duty that knows first-hand the challenges that many emergency responders face. He is now a Man on a Mission to help his fellow emergency responders.
The other co-founder of the program is Rich O’Brien whose life was saved by City of Charleston firefighter Paul Tumminia who revived him three times after he suffered catastrophic injuries in a golf cart accident that included a broken neck, broken back, four skull fractures, and brain damage in every lobe of his brain. On that day, Paul fought hard to keep Rich alive against all odds. During his long road to recovery, Rich endured 12,000 hours of physical therapy and has pioneered the use of golf as therapy for the recovery from injuries, illnesses, or challenges. The HERO Program is his way of returning the favor to emergency responders for saving his life.
The program is FREE to Emergency Responders and their families as a thank you for serving and protecting our community. Emergency Responders with no previous golf experience are welcome. Golf equipment is provided if needed for the clinics.
The HERO Golf Therapy Program has quickly become very popular with the emergency responders and their families. We also invited members of the community that have mobility challenges, traumatic brain injuries, amputated limbs, birth defects, or other injuries, illnesses, or challenges and would benefit from Golf Therapy. Of special note, many of these individuals lives were saved by emergency responders. The clinics now regularly attract 50-60 participants making it one of the largest adaptive golf programs.
Clinics are held from 0900-1100 on the 2nd Saturday of each month at The Golf Club at Wescott Plantation in Summerville, SC.

&nbsp;Matrix Youth Golf &amp; Sports, seeks to address the barriers that the majority of inner-city, low-income youth experience when looking to join or consider the prospect of taking up a sport like golf: transportation barriers, financial barriers, lack of coaches, or available mentors, and lack of safe environments or adequate facilities to support play. Our program provides a safe, accessible golf program facilitated by experienced golfers and community mentors with goals of engaging youth long-term to help increase academic achievement, foster positive relationship-building skills, have a healthy perspective of opportunity, inclusivity, and breaking barriers while deterring at-risk behavior while learning a sport and building athletic technique. Additionally, our program goes one step further seeking to address equity issues that exist within the communities we serve, attempting to level the playing field by providing equitable golf programming to youth from disparate households. &nbsp;
Within the program’s model, Matrix Youth Golf tackles the hard objectives stated above by engaging local volunteers who are experienced and avid golfers through our partnership with Golf. My Future. My Game. as program coaches and mentors. This method provides a positive lens to the sport, as well as working with men and women from the community that golf invites, while also helping to forge and foster positive relationships within the youth community we serve. These relationships are instrumental in helping youth navigate life obstacles while also exposing them to future career and recreation options.&nbsp;
This evening and after-school youth service provide young people in Osborn with positive alternative activities in their community. The target age group is 14-17; however, the program will work with youth up to the age of 21 to provide early teens with golf and mentoring opportunities, while older teens and young adults can continue their golf activities but also be exposed to Matrix’s other college readiness and youth employment programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;

- Participants are encouraged to share traumas and emotions that they have been hesitant or unable to talk about in the past with their families, friends, coworkers, and others around them, as well as helping to understand where their moral injury/PTSD comes from and how to better manage stress, anxiety, and their emotions.
Resources commonly provided:
- mindfulness, yoga, meditation, bodyscan, resilience training, moral injury understanding, moral injury symptoms and symptom management, PTSD understanding and PTSD symptom management, breath-work, trauma informed care, yin yoga, journaling, group conversation, group therapy, and massage

The Player Development Index (PDI) model of development incorporates three key components to support an athlete’s journey to success in the game of golf:
PDI Assessments
Long Term Athletic Development(LTAD)
5 Elements of Success
An athlete’s PDI journey begins with an assessment to provide greater clarity on where the athlete is in the journey and creates a clear roadmap of skill acquisition. PDI provides a numerical index that acts as a measure of the development of golf skill, physical proficiency, mental approach, and performance in a competition that supports golf coaches and their athletes in their journey of finding success in the game of golf. Integrating LTAD and our proprietary 5 Elements of Success philosophy into the developmental process for a golf athlete allows for a truly robust process that guides the athlete to consistently focus in the right areas based on their skill level. Our 5 Elements of Success are defined as Desire, Physical, Coaching, Mental &amp; Equipment and they can and should be applied to all aspects of an athlete's life.

INVITE (Our instructors are trained to reach out to their local communities and "invite" people to try golf, rather than wait for non-golfers to find them)
INTRODUCE (Once W2G participants visit our facilities, they are "introduced" to many of the components of the game including a tour of the facility, what to wear, how to practice, on-course experiences, etc... to increase their understanding and comfort level... opening the doors to a great golf learning experience. The actual instruction is what brings everything together.)
CONVERT (We know, that creating a committed golfer doesn't end when the lessons end. In the "CONVERT" stage, new golfers are given reasons and opportunities to come back, play, and learn... all in a fun and non-intimidating atmosphere that encourages play.)
