Bank of America golf program helps Austin kids
A program launched by Bank of America is making golf cheap for kids.
Why it matters: Golf with Us is one of a number of initiatives in Austin and across the country aiming to make a sport long associated with country clubs more accessible.
How it works: Through a partnership with Youth on Course, a nonprofit that makes golf more financially accessible to children, Bank of America is funding golf for kids ages 6–18 at thousands of courses around the country.
As part of the initiative, kids and teens can get a free golf lesson from pro athletes and celebrities.
Kids can enroll in a free one-year membership to Youth on Course through May 24.
Zoom in: Golf with Us includes access to Hancock, Lions, Morris Williams, Harvey Penick, Jimmy Clay, Roy Kizer, Point Venture and Lago Vista golf courses for $5 or less per round.
18-hole rounds for teenagers normally start at $14 on Austin courses.
Meanwhile, another program trying to get kids on Austin courses is First Tee, a nonprofit that aims to help kids build confidence and manage their emotions through golf.
What they're saying:"At Bank of America, we believe in building stronger communities from the ground up, starting with our youth," said David Bader, Bank of America Austin president.
