Description
Tee Times for Troops is a military veteran project in Scotland that utilizes golf as a means to bring about positive change and provide veterans with opportunities to play golf for broader social benefits. This initiative is a collaboration between Active Stirling and On Course Foundation.
For Veterans: If you are a veteran interested in getting involved with Tee Times for Troops, you can contact Will, who will be able to provide you with a directory of golf clubs that have joined this initiative. This directory will include clubs that offer complimentary or discounted tee times to veterans.
For Golf Clubs: If you are a golf club interested in supporting veterans through this initiative, here's how you can get involved:
-
Offer Complimentary or Discounted Tee Times: Participating golf clubs can offer complimentary or discounted tee times to veterans. These tee times are typically made available during quieter periods at the club.
-
Not a Free Membership: It's important to note that Tee Times for Troops is not providing free golf club memberships to veterans. Instead, it's an opportunity for veterans to play golf more regularly and access the sport through supportive golf clubs.
While this initiative is currently running in Scotland, they are actively seeking golf clubs throughout the UK to join and support veterans in their local communities. By offering veterans access to golf, it can help improve their well-being and provide them with opportunities for social engagement and physical activity.
