All Golf is Local

The TGF utilizes its resources in each region of Tennessee – including regional directors and staff – to positively impact the game and its participants, regardless of age, gender or ethnicity. Tennessee is a model state for the rest of the country in such areas as: cooperative golf administration, junior golf development, The First Tee, and a cooperative culture that emphasizes collaboration between amateurs and professionals, men and women, juniors and seniors. TGF programming is currently in 62 of the 95 counties in Tennessee, impacting 42,200 youth annually.
