SBCUSD High School Golf

Arnold Palmer once said that golf “is the greatest game mankind has ever invented.” Golf is a game of honor and integrity. Golf is played outside, promotes relaxation and better health, helps develop social skills, helps learn to deal with adversity, and it is fun. Mr. Palmer was right.

Golf is also big business.

The high school version of the San Bernardino City Unified School District’s golf program introduces students to the game and helps them develop as young golfers. However, in addition to that, it also focuses on opening the students’ eyes to potential career opportunities available in golf.
