We thank you for choosing to honor and celebrate the life of your loved one by supporting the Tennessee Golf Foundation. Gifts in honor or memory of your favorite golfer are a wonderful way to celebrate their legacy.
Donors typically make gifts in memory of a deceased family member, friend or co-worker or to honor someone who loves the game of golf. Each gift helps the Tennessee Golf Foundation meet our mission to promote golf and its life enhancing values with an emphasis on teaching youth and the disadvantaged.
