What is the GolfWorks program?

GOLFWORKS is a summer internship program that places needs-based student interns at MGA member clubs and facilities, providing a hands-on introduction to both the golf industry and the workforce. Interns learn from industry professionals in areas such as the golf shop, food and beverage service, grounds staff, and clubhouse operations. For many participants, this is an initial professional experience that provides valuable career and life lessons, helping interns succeed in their future education and career pursuits.

GOLFWORKS aims to introduce participants to both the golf industry and the workforce in general through the following goals:

• To provide meaningful employment, in a friendly environment for needs-based young people;
• To develop positive skill sets that will enable broader career options in the future;
• To provide exposure to positive role models and build self-esteem;
• To provide regular exposure to the game and a chance to develop some level of skill, as well as a knowledge of the game’s Rules and etiquette;
• To enable clubs to interact with their communities in a positive way and to enrich and improve the lives of young people who are need-driven;
• To open the golf industry to a new generation that truly reflects our diverse society
