The 8th annual Clubs for Kids program will be held on Saturday, June 3, 2023, at Pleasant Point Golf Course on Lady’s Island.
The free event, which is open to Beaufort area children, ages 5-12, is held to provide local kids of all backgrounds with the tools to play golf, to teach them how to use the tools of golf and offer them access to play.
Every child that signs up and attends the program will receive a free set of golf clubs as well as golf instruction focusing on golf etiquette and sportsmanship, basics of the golf swing and understanding how to score and play the game.
Children ages 5 to 8 should arrive at 8 a.m. to warm-up with the clinic beginning at 8:30 a.m.
For children between the ages of 9-12, the arrival time is 9:30 a.m., with their clinic beginning at 10 a.m.
Hot dogs will be provided for all participating children.
The event is hosted by The Beaufort Charities, which is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization which focuses on generating funds to be used for local organizations that help fulfill the needs of Beaufort County.
In the 8 years that The Beaufort Charities has held the event, more than 750 sets of Wilson golf clubs have been distributed to Beaufort County kids.
