The JOLF Man

Here to share thoughts, ideas and experiences about children’s and family golf. Particularly focused on the 1st experiences. JOLF’s purpose is to provide accessible opportunities for children and families in schools, the local community and at golf clubs to play golf independently, enjoy playing together and learn as they play.
