From its humble beginnings with 17 students meeting at Franklin-Wright Settlements—a
small community center in Detroit, to learning golf skills to today with 250 students—the
program is a phenomenal success. It has expanded to a 30-week curriculum that has helped
hundreds of Detroit’s at-risk high school students enter college and various professional
careers. Today, twice weekly, two groups of 125 students meet from 5:30-8:30 p.m. for life
lessons, golf lessons and a sit-down dinner.
