In order to participate, juniors must complete a comprehensive life skills
education program that teaches core values like responsibility, perseverance and
honesty. Participants may complete this life skills training in one of two ways:
1) Participate in one of the Youth on Course
certified youth programs. Participants will receive their Youth on Course
stickers from their certified program. Participants also become a member of the
certified program’s golf club in order to receive their NCGA membership card.
OR
2) Enroll in the NCGA Foundation's online life skills curriculum via the
online
curriculum section of this website. The curriculum consists of four
sections: Rules of Golf, Etiquette, Life Skills and Healthy Lifestyles. Due to
the complexity of some questions, participants must be 10 years of age in order
to register for the online curriculum.
Please note that whether joining via a certified program or the online
curriculum, participants must renew their membership each calendar year. The
NCGA’s renewal period runs from October 1 through December 31.
