In early 2005, Total Golf Adventures became affiliated with the GRAA and became the Official At-School After School Golf Program. The mission of Total Golf Adventures is to create and develop a child's passion for the game of golf through an after school enrichment program that develops and improves their motor skills and hand-eye coordination, encourages their advancement, and builds their confidence and self-esteem. TGA’s National At-School After-School Golf Program is designed for students in Kindergarten through Eighth grade (K – 8th). The enrichment program begins by teaching students the fundamentals of golf swing along with rules and etiquette of the game. After learning the basic principals of the game of golf in the beginning class, the intermediate class transitions the students to golf course preparation where they are instilled confidence to take their skills from the school to the golf course. Finally, TGA allows each program around the country to come up with their own advanced level class when students begin passing the intermediate class. TGA programs can be found in 22 states; for information on how you might run a TGA business operation contact them through their website.
