By introducing golf at school level GolfRiTe is facilitating the entry of younger kids in to the game. I think it is a great initiative. Also by joining hands with US Kids Golf it has done the right thing because very young golfers will get exposure to competition at the highest level – the US Kids Golf World Championship - Shiv Kapur.
