BOSTON, Massachusetts (WCVB) — In an effort to expand access to golf among youths across Massachusetts, Boston Common Golf announced a new community platform on Wednesday called Common Ground.
The announcement featured guest speakers like Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and two-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, fresh off his latest Fenway Park performance.
“This is not proper golf course attire, kids,” said Kahan. “Do not wear Birkenstocks at a golf course.”
The New England native shared his own golf journey with children at the golf clinic.
“I moved to Boston, to Watertown, started playing Fresh Pond Golf, Newton Commonwealth … and realized that golf is really for everybody and should be accessible to all,” Kahan said.
Boston Common Golf, in partnership with Full Swing, a founding partner of Common Ground, announced the donation of three golf simulators to the City of Boston, providing year-round access to golf technology and instruction.
Additionally, Boston Common Golf is making $5 tee times available for Youth on Course members at George Wright Golf Course in Hyde Park throughout the summer.
“Boston is a national leader in creating opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and reach their dreams. Through partnerships like this one, we’re expanding access to recreational programs and helping more young people learn how to play golf without barriers,” said Mayor Wu. “We’re grateful to Boston Common Golf and The Busyhead Project for investing in our youth and helping make the game more accessible across our city.”
