In working with schools, youth organisations and golf clubs, we remain deeply concerned about the ongoing decline in young people’s mental health, particularly since the Covid pandemic. Mental health issues continue to affect school attendance and lead to poorer learning outcomes, particularly in exams. Supporting good mental health and wellbeing helps children and young people to grow, attend school, engage fully in learning, and reach their full potential.

Through evidence-based research, Unleash Your Drive is a six-week programme that uses golf to teach vital mental toughness skills. Delivered through a series of fun games and adapted equipment, the programme is supported by expert guidance from The Golf Foundation. Golf provides powerful mental health benefits, enabling children to develop resilience, focus, and emotional control. Our programme goes further. We evidence improvements in mental toughness by 20% and overall wellbeing by 6%.
