The Virginia State Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that serves the needs of individual golfers and member clubs across Virginia. We have several affiliated entities that rely on charitable support: Youth on Course, the Fleming Fund, the VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation, and the Virginia Golf Hall of Fame. Learn more about each one below and ways you can make a contribution, including the VSGA Impact Program that supports all four.
The VSGA partners with Youth on Course, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. Juniors ages 6-18 are eligible to join Youth on Course, which comes with access to nearly 2,000 participating courses across the U.S. and Canada where you can play a round of golf for just $5 or less.
The Fleming Fund is dedicated to promoting and growing junior girls golf. Our primary goal is to make golf more accessible for young girls who have a passion for the sport but may face financial barriers. The VSGA works with First Tee chapters across Virginia to offer grants to cover the costs for junior girls ages 12-18 to attend a golf camp. Additionally, the Fleming Fund also provides assistance for junior girls to compete in events and championships.
The VSGA-VIP Scholarship Foundation has seven dedicated scholarship awards, with amounts ranging from $7,500 to $10,000. Additionally, at least one scholarship will be awarded to a high school student who is a military dependent.
The Virginia Golf Hall of Fame recognizes those who have given so much to the game of golf in Virginia, both on the course and off. A vision of former Virginia State Golf Association President Gib Palmer, the Virginia Golf Hall of Fame became a reality in June 2015 with the mission of recognizing excellence and honoring heritage.
