But, we felt we needed to do more. We wanted to bring the excitement of golf to young people who would not ordinarily have access to the sport. More than 100 inner city youth, ages 15 through 18 will be introduced to golf. A unique component of the program is an empowerment workship series designed to enhance personal development and leadership. The workshops will help focus thoughts, energy and actions on the specifics that will bring success.
People succeed because they know what they want and where they are going.
The teens will learn that golf can be an important business tool to use when dealing with their clients or business associates. These kids represent the future, and we're proud to sponsor programs that encourage academic and athletic leadership. Participants will attend the clinics once a week after school for eight weeks. At the end of the program, the teens will participate in tournament play on the golf course. Gillette will also sponsor a one-day clinic and exhibition during one of the 1998 PGA Senior Tour events.
