Compton, CA – June 7th, 2014 is the date for the Help Youth Through Golf – Spring Tournament and we can hardly wait! Every Saturday for the last 3 years, HYTG has held FREE golf lessons for kids 5 and older at the Compton Par 3 Golf Course. Every 3 months we have a tournament so the kids can show off their development, compete in a team format, and just have fun!
We also use these tournaments as a way to connect with sponsors and donors so we can continue offering the free classes. Because of our involvement at most of the middle and elementary schools in the area, we were forecasting that more than 72 kids would be interested in participating in the HYTG Spring 2014 tournament.
