“The scale of the award clearly demonstrates how committed the industry is to the long-term development of the sport,” said Mike Round, chief executive of the Golf Foundation. “We are extremely grateful to the Grow Golf trustees for supporting Golf Roots and helping us to introduce more children to the sport.”
The current Grow Golf partners are Acushnet Europe, Callaway Golf, Ping Europe and TaylorMade-adidas Golf, all of which contribute an annual levy based on UK turnover. The Grow Golf trustees, who include Warren Sunderland and Bob Smith, are seeking additional partners in order to expand the scheme, and the trustees would also welcome funding applications.
