How It Started.
Clemson Life is a special college program that provides a positive college and learning environment for kids with intellectual disabilities. While teaching golf at Clemson University, I had the priviledge of having Clemson Life students in my Leisure Studies Golf Classes. The Clemson Life students changed my total approach to golf instruction to all levels of players. They were eager to learn a new sport and enjoyed being outside on the golf course learning a new skill with others.
I understand the game of golf can be intimidating, especially for beginners. I saw most of the Clemson Life students developed capable golf skills and found a new sport to enjoy outside socially. Some of the students had golf in their families, but others did not. The golf classes became a one and done program with no golf in their future sights. I saw a need to change that and vowed to teach not just the kids golf skills but the family as a whole to enjoy an outside sporting activity that is challenging and fun.
The goal of Family Golf Life is to create opportunities for golf to become a outside family activity to spend quality time together.
How can I help?
Family Golf Life aims to create a world-class learning environment for the special needs community with love and respect of each participating individual. We will create an atmosphere of inclusion, diginity, and respect while enriching lives with golf as an outdoor recreation one person at a time.
Where can I donate clubs?
Clubs are always needed for the kids and family members. Donations are processed through the Staff at The Par 3 at Woodhaven. Please call ahead to make an appointment for drop off and review. All procedes received go toward making learning and playing opportunities for families to have a safe and happy golf experience.
