Youth on Course

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.
