About GAM Foundation

The GAM Foundation supports access to affordable golf for youth — an investment in the future of the game. Our simple goal is to help more kids play more golf for $5 or less through Youth on Course.

We are making golf more affordable and accessible at a local level – an effort which requires help from generous individuals like you.

Year GAM Foundation Founded

The Golf Association of Michigan Foundation, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Consistent with the overall mission of the GAM to “promote, preserve and serve amateur golf in Michigan”, the foundation allows the GAM to invest in new programming to support access to the game to the broadest possible audience of Michigan residents and to provide tax benefits for contributions from our supporters.

“As the site director for the LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Program Detroit sites, I am appreciative of the GAM Foundations Youth on Course program which facilitates our junior golfers' access to affordable rounds of golf here in the Detroit Metro area. Keep up the GREAT work.”

I think it also encourages a lot more people to just get out and play golf. I see more youth coming to play all the time, not just the other kids who play in tournaments like me. For $5 you get to play golf. I get to practice and play a lot and it helps make that possible. It’s really for everybody.

“We learned about YOC before Nolan began playing golf as a sport, and we did not realize how invaluable this program was until he wanted to play golf every day!”

For five dollars, it gives us an opportunity to spend some time together as a family. It’s a great program.

Golf provides a wonderful world to players and to those otherwise involved in the beauty of the game and the golf course. Many don’t have the chance to see what golf can mean to them. That is why Youth on Course is important. That is why I support the Golf Association of Michigan Foundation and its Youth on Course initiative.

"I like golf and Youth on Course because I get to spend a lot of time with my dad and I get to be outside.”

“More or less I feel the GAM puts their money where their mouth is so we need to put our money where our mouth is and give some back. We know the program (Youth on Course) works on donations. It works for us, so it’s important to give back and keep it going.”
