Urban Golf - MAC Partnership

Urban Golf of Greater St. Louis (UGOLF) prepares youth in Urban St. Louis to be successful beyond high school and exposes them to the vast community of golf.  Founded in 2020, Jerome Harris has secured partnerships and support from Gateway PGA Reach, Nike and the St. Louis Public School District. The MAC is proud to support UGOLF as part of the Club’s civic engagement initiative to prioritize community partnerships that lead to the growth, progress and success of the City of St. Louis.

Through golf education, after school programs and student support, Mr. Harris works with middle and high school students to build connection, trust and mentorship while introducing golf instruction, sportsmanship and exposing them to new possibilities.  He also collaborates with teachers to tie golf benefits into classroom curricula and introduce various career paths connected to the game of golf. 

Please contact Kara Kelpe kkelpe@mac-stl.org to offer your support through a charge to your MAC Member account.  A 501c3 tax deductible gift acknowledgement letter will be issued to each donor from Urban Golf of Greater St. Louis.
 

Donate Used Golf Clubs

Not only does UGOLF introduce the game of golf and basic golf instruction to students, but Mr. Harris makes sure that each student has access to their own set of golf clubs.  Having a properly fitting set of clubs makes all the difference in your golf swing and performance on the course, not to mention the impact it has on your game-play confidence and mental focus.  All used golf clubs are professionally re-fitted for UGOLF students and the mechanics of the refurbishment process are incorporated into UGOLF programming to truly expose students to all aspects of the game. Bring in your used golf clubs, and we will donate them to UGOLF!


Share Your Time and Grow the Game

MAC Member Alex Brockman is a “Champion” with UGOLF enthusiastically supporting its programming and providing mentorship to students like Lee Curtis. 

In addition to introducing golf instruction, Mr. Harris and UGOLF Champions connect with these students to build trust, provide mentorship and introduce them to possibilities outside of their immediate boundaries.  During Spring Break and Summer Break, UGOLF organizes college visits for participating students. They have traveled locally and also ventured to visit campuses like LSU – a truly unique opportunity for these teenagers to see a possible future beyond high school.

Look for more details on upcoming ways to connect one-on-one with UGOLF students over a shared interest in the game of golf.  Giving of your time through conversation, through on-course play, or by becoming a UGOLF Champion will have a profound impact on the lives of these students far beyond the game of golf.
