Golf

LPGA Girls Golf Club of Houston was formed specifically to create a network for girls to learn to play golf, build friendships, and sample competition in a non-threatening environment. Girl Scouts of the USA and the United States Golf Association have formed a partnership to promote its national sports initiative. By working together, these three organizations are making golf more accessible to girls and promoting girls’ lifelong interest in the sport.
