TEACHING GOLF FUN-DAMENTALS
TEACHING LIFE-SKILLS WITH GOLF
DiG is a platform to grow the golf industry in developing nations.
We start with our teaching program in schools or civic centers, based on having fun learning the basics of golf using SNAG equipment. (Starting New At Golf or “SNAG” is endorsed by Jack Nicklaus and used in over 9000 schools by the 1st Tee…
We add a little fun with DiG Frisbee and DiG Soccer to show how much fun this game can be, all while learning the rules of the game.
Then, we build a 6-hole short-course for training, and later, a 18-hole golf course and recreation center.

The DiG Club
For those interested in progressing more with our programs, we enroll them into our DiG Club which utilizes golf caps with different colors for achievement levels. The ultimate is our Black cap, similar to a black belt in martial arts. This program instills more life-skills like goal setting, leadership, and perseverance.

The DiG C.A.P. System
Why teach golf to youth if there is no access to a golf course in their area?
After we establish our training program, we organize support to build a specially designed 6-hole “training course” that is short and ready for DiG Soccer, DiG Frisbee, and of course golf.
This short course has multiple tee boxes for all levels of play from young to old, beginners to advanced, and a separate green for DiG Soccer and DiG Frisbee. (grass cut higher to slow down the soccer ball)
Then when demand and funding available, we build an 18-hole regulation course and clubhouse / recreation center for even more community support. This infrastructure provides revenue for sustainability and creates the need for employment in all aspects of golf and course management and recreation.
If you want to be highly competitive in golf, education at an academy and playing with friends is just not enough.
The DiG Tour is a development mini-tour circuit for our member nations to provide...
- Initial golf tournament experience for young advancing golfers
- How to play under pressure
- Experience for course management apprentices
- Fund raising activities for DiG
- Local and International competition
We have already held several tournaments with amazing feedback!
