The Benefits of Golf for Women and Communities of Color. Golf is a social sport that can open doors to key relationships for career advancement.
The mission of Women of Color Golf is to increase diversity and inclusion in the sport of golf for women and girls through instruction, mentoring, networking, health, and career-related opportunities.
WOCG seeks to create a spark of interest and inspiration in the game of golf. This inspiration is then turned into action with organized golf clinics, recreational golf events, business networking & mentoring opportunities. WOCG started in 2014, and has introduced over 1000 minority women & girls to the fundamentals of golf in the Tampa, St. Petersburg, Florida bay area and Washington, D.C.
Women of Color Golf (WOCG) and Girls on the Green Tee (GOTGT) programs have grown into a nationally recognized community-based organization, with recent recognition by former President Barack Obama, as a United States White House Champion of Change, for After School Programs for Marginalized Girls.
