The VSGA and Youth on Course work to support junior golfers
Mechanicsville ’ s Laura Salapka doesn ’ t have to look far to see the impact that Youth on Course has had on children in Virginia . She can see it in how much joy her two sons — Carter and Evan — have gotten out of the program .
“ We are so grateful for the YOC experience ,” Salapka said , “ and my older son ( Carter , who turns 19 this year ) is mourning the day that his membership expires .”
Youth on Course is a nonprofit organization based out of Monterey , Calif ., that strives to give junior golfers access to affordable rounds of golf in their state . By providing access to rounds of golf for $ 5 or less , Youth on Course opens doors for junior golfers that otherwise might not have been due to financial barriers or lack of accessibility .
