Greg
Norman Golf Foundation
Since its inception in 1988, the Greg Norman Golf Foundation
has pursued its mission of developing and nurturing young
Queensland golfers through its state-wide programs of clinics,
camps and competitions.
The Foundation actively strives to provide an opportunity
for all young Queenslanders to learn and develop skills and
to encourage involvement in the sport of golf.
The Foundation's coaching staff travels extensively to even
the most remote areas in the State, where they run training
and development programs in schools and at golf clubs. Children,
who may otherwise have never been given the opportunity, including
disabled and indigenous children, are
instructed in the game of golf and given the chance to "have
a go".

In addition to the promotion of the game of golf amongst
beginners and novices, the Foundation is responsible for many
junior competitions, which enable up-and-coming young golfers
to put their developing skills to the test and display their
prowess. The most significant of these is the Greg Norman
Junior Masters, a program which has provided a springboard
for the careers of many young Queensland golfers, including
Adam Scott and Karrie Webb.
The Greg Norman Golf Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation.
In order to achieve its goals, it is dependant upon the support
of its sponsors. Only through their generous support of its
programs and its fundraising events is the foundation able
to continue to work to develop and nurture the game of golf
amongst Queensland youth. The Patron of the Foundation, champion
Australian golfer Greg Norman, has always been since the inception
of the Foundation, extremely generous in his donation of his
time and his funds.
