The Youth on Course 100 Hole Hike is the primary way that YOC funds its operations and course subsidies. This annual fundraising event takes place at different venues all over the country and sees volunteers walk and play 100 holes of golf…in just one day!
We are thrilled to announce that we are actively seeking Hikers to participate in this year’s 100 Hole Hike, taking place on Friday, September 13th! Youth on Course is also allowing for more flexibility this year in terms of Hike format – participants can hike as a team relay-style, so if you would like to partner up with a friend, that option is now available. If you are interested in participating and raising funds and awareness for a wonderful cause, or would just like more information, please contact Kyle Sherman at ksherman@massgolf.org or 774-430-9014.
