Most children have no place to learn the game.
For people who live in the inner city, the barrier is even higher. Button Hole's primary focus shall be on the youth of greater Providence in particular those of the Hartford, Manton and Olneyville neighborhoods. Members of the Foundation shall be chosen primarily, yet not exclusively from Rhode Island golfing organizations. The Rhode Island Golf Association was founded in 1902. Its primary function is to promote the game of golf in Rhode Island and to serve the interest of its affiliated clubs and members.
