In an effort to get more young girls and boys opportunities in golf, this application is particularly for high school and middle school girls and boys golf coaches. Based on surveys sent out to all Boys and Girls High School Golf Coaches in the Northern Ohio region, results show that 50% of girls high school teams and 59% of boys high school teams have at least one player that is sharing or borrowing equipment. In 2025, applications will be accepted from both girls and boys teams but a separate application is needed for each program request.
