Projects
Through a series of events, workshops, and initiatives, we’ve introduced countless beginners and juniors to golf, making the sport more accessible and enjoyable for all. The journey doesn’t stop here. FordesGolf continues to push the boundaries of golf development, fostering a vibrant and inclusive golf community. Stay connected as we keep innovating, growing, and shaping the future of the sport.
The Barbados Golf Club is proud to share our support for a truly inspiring opportunity involving four of our talented young golfers, who have been selected to participate in the New Links Educational Golf Program in St Andrews, Scotland – the Home of Golf.
This opportunity has been made possible through the incredible efforts of Fordesgolf, based at the Barbados Golf Club, whose collaboration with St Andrews has opened the door for our young athletes to be part of this prestigious international initiative. The New Links program brings together junior golfers from around the world for a week of golf, education, and cultural exchange in one of the most iconic golfing destinations.
While in St Andrews, our junior golfers will experience far more than just golf. They will:
-
Play the world-renowned St Andrews Links (Ballot)
-
Visit the World Golf Museum
-
Dine at the prestigious R&A Clubhouse
-
Tour the historic University of St Andrews
-
Engage in cultural activities that immerse them in the rich Scottish heritage – all while bundled up against a very different kind of weather than they’re used to in sunny Barbados!
To help make this dream a reality, the players and their families have been working tirelessly, organising a number of creative fundraisers such as a car wash, raffle, food cart sales, and a successful night golf event. Despite these tremendous efforts, there is still a remaining shortfall of over BBD $6,000, primarily to cover airfare.
To assist with this final push, Barbados Golf Club is proud to donate a 6-month membership, including the use of a golf cart, to be offered through a silent auction. This is a fantastic opportunity for one lucky bidder, and most importantly, a powerful way to support the future of golf in Barbados.
We encourage our members, friends of the game, and the wider community to get involved. Every bid brings these young golfers one step closer to a once-in-a-lifetime experience and helps continue the important work being done by Fordesgolf to nurture the next generation of talent.
