Maine Golf Foundation kicks off

Capital campaign for building renovations

While the primary work of the Maine Golf Foundation has been to assume the operations of both The First Tee of Maine and the National School Program, the Golf House is the future home to all of our organizations, the better to share resources and serve the golfing public.

By purchasing the Banquet Center side of the building at the Val Halla Golf and Recreation Center in Cumberland, the MSGA has demonstrated its firm commitment to establishing the Maine Golf House and the Maine Golf Foundation as key components of a long-term plan to honor, sustain and grow amateur golf in Maine.

Now the building must be renovated to give the various golf organizations permanent office space alongside a Maine golf education center, a Maine golf library, and display space for Maine golf memorabilia. In order to achieve that goal, the MSGA and the Maine Golf Foundation intend to raise $275,000 for the building renovation. This is being done through a grass roots campaign of the members of all associations. The front of the building is being landscaped with a variety of different granite bricks, brass plaques and pavers, all of which are opportunities to remember your favorite golfer.

As the year draws to a close, Maine golfers are being asked to please consider buying a paver or a granite brick to support the cause. They can be engraved to order. MSGA players can even use MSGA vouchers to pay for the donation. Every bit will help move us closer to our goal of having all associations together under one roof for the betterment of Maine golf.

The First Tee National School Program:
The Maine Golf Foundation has committed to a major effort to install The First Tee National School Program in 39 elementary schools in Greater Portland in 2010 and 2011. For a $3000 investment per school, the progam provides a proven curriculum, teacher training and the equipment to teach golf fundamentals and etiquette to students in school. We are currently fund raising for this program. If you would like to contribute, please email us by clicking here.
