Program Model
Teaching a student how to GO golfing is more important than teaching a student how to golf. The object is to attract the student to choose responsible use of leisure time. Everyone has leisure time to some extent and responsible use of leisure combats so many of the side effects of being disabled such as lethargy and substance abuse. Golf is healthy therapy that outlasts all other forms of traditional therapy and can, with adaptation, last a lifetime.
Why a Golf Foundation?
First and foremost, golfing is a perfect setting for development of physical and mental skills for those challenged by injuries, disabilities or lack of experience. The elemental experience of golf, out in fresh air, on manicured lawns with interesting landscapes, provides outdoor recreation with a modicum of safety and privacy due to the spacious nature of a good golf course, enhancing physical well being along with therapeutic treatment or competitive skills training.
Sponsorship and Support
In order to better provide access to golf classes for all, without financial or physical barriers, Marty holds fundraising events and seeks donations, grants and sponsorships from individuals, families, churches, vendors, merchants and corporations to benefit his programs as well as chosen special athletes. Join the growing community of therapeutic golf supporters who find Marty's Foundation is a solution provider with a respectable dollar to service ratio for people seeking to heal or improve their physical and mental well being. Budget and references available upon request.

 In addition to his weekly classes for students with special needs, including Veteran In-Patients with TBI: Traumatic Brain Injury and Teens and Adults with Autism, Marty performs demonstrations and creates educational programs at sites around the country, including PGA educational programs, PGA Tour Events, LPGA Tour Pro/Am fundraisers and other charity events. His ability to spark imagination and his awareness of individual spirit can be a guiding force in program development and enriches the lives of everyone in contact with him. |
