THINK. CHANGE. GOLF.
If the game is going to do more than survive and actually thrive, it needs a rich infusion of new blood. the most vital source of new golfers should be kids. It’s self-evident that the sooner someone is introduced to the sport, the more likely that person will be a lifetime golfer. Our mission is simple. We want to help change the way people think about golf. #SixtyoneGolf translates golf into a language that is easier to understand.

Sam Ryder with an absolutely electric ace on the famed par-3 16th at the WM Phoenix Open. It was the first hole-in-one on the 16th since 2015 and Ryder’s first ace on the PGA Tour. On average, golfers hit their 54-degree wedge 92 yards, but Ryder connected for 124 yards before it spun left and dropped into the cup. What made it even more special was Ryder’s parents being present and inside the ropes with him, walking through the tunnel and watching him from inside the cauldron of 16 as the ball went in. #ChangeGolf #ChangeThinkGolf #sixtyonegolf #WMPhoenixOpen

The key for ultimate growth in the game of Golf is to put it on the same footing as other sports and after-school activities. We believe that the game of golf can be taught anywhere. Facts have shown that if you don’t get kids into a sports activity before the age of 10, the probability that it will remain part of their later lives lessens. As children, we are positively imprinted by our youth experiences. Golf is a game that teaches many of the greatest life lessons.
Join our movement to adjust the frame of mind of how everyone thinks about Golf. #ChangeThinkGolf #SixtyOneGolf #ThinkDifferent #ChangeTheGame #JuniorGolf #KidsGolf #GolfKids #AreYouSixtyOne #golf

Golf is different. It is a game of honor and integrity. When a golfer breaks a rule, they are expected to penalize themselves. Golfers don’t need umpires or referees.
Being a golfer is more than learning how to hit a golf ball. It is a contest, a series of challenges, between you and your most difficult opponent: yourself. When a child learns to play golf correctly, they, almost without realizing, develop valuable skills that they will use throughout their lives on and off the golf course.
The Sixtyone Golf Academy is a golf introduction, development, and integration program. It is designed to help remove barriers to playing golf, the real ones and the ones we perceive.
Sixtyone reaches out from the golf course and connects young people with the positive aspects of golf. The traditions and culture of the game do the rest.
How it works
The Sixtyone Golf Academy has three phases. Each phase helps guide students on their journey as young golfers. The pursuit takes them from hacking at golf balls in their backyards and school playgrounds to becoming complete and independent young golfers.
Students begin online and on school campus. They learn why golf is different than other sports, and that hitting a golf ball is fun.
Welcome to Golf | Rules, Etiquette & Proper Behavior | Golf Quirks, Traditions & Culture | Your Golf Heritage.
Students who accept the challenge and their responsibilities move to the golf course and begin the transition into young golfers.
Practice Area (Self-awarenes & Self-improvement) Keeping Score (Strategy & Managing Obstacles) | Course Management (Etiquette & Culture) | Fun (Enjoyment & Mental Fitness).
Students who successfully complete an Academy program become members of the Sixtyone Country Club and connected with a support network willing to share time, treasure and expertise to help them integrate as far into golf culture as they desire.
