WHY STEM?

Golf enjoys a greater connection to its natural surroundings than any other sport. Yet with constant pressure to keep up with environmentally friendly practices, our industry must also rely on science, technology, engineering and mathematics to help instill a lifelong appreciation of our most precious natural resources for generations to come.

The longterm vitality of our sport depends on STEM:

  1. STEM’s hands-on approach enriches the learning experience.
  2. Each golf course presents unique applications of the STEM curriculum.
  3. STEM will create a positive impact on sustainability throughout the game.
