The past six years have deepened our understanding of the needs of student-athletes in golf, thereby fostering their development both in the classroom and on the course. The Foundation favors a holistic approach with these young individuals, who must demonstrate commendable attitudes and behavior in their golf practice and daily lives. For its part, Golf Qu\u00e9bec, with the involvement of its coaches, better identifies the skills to develop and provides stimulating athletic support for their journey. Together, we promote the growth of young people to become contributing members of society. Naturally, the success of this program would be impossible without the financial contributions of generous donors.
