About Us

Our Belief

The Trustees and the Board of the Tee Up For Kids Foundation believe the golfing fraternity can be instrumental in helping professional organisations meet the challenges of assisting severely traumatised children lead a fulfilling life.

The Foundation believes that golf is a great leveler in sport and in the development of people. Golfers know that one shot can bring about a change in your personality and demeanor. Therefore, ‘one shot’ at an opportunity could help change hurt, angry, untrusting and disengaged kids become positive members of our community.

As the great Ben Hogan once said: ‘The most important shot in golf is the next one’.
