The Inclusion pillar of the NEPGA REACH Foundation is built on the fundamental belief that the game of golf should be a welcoming sanctuary for everyone, regardless of their background or experience. By dismantling traditional barriers to entry, the foundation fosters an environment where diversity is not just invited but celebrated. This commitment is brought to life through intentional programming designed to reach underrepresented communities to provide competitive opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

Breaking traditional barriers to ensure every individual has the opportunity to play, learn, and compete.

In partnership with Branch Resource LLC and Essence, the inaugural "OpportuniTee Golf Classic" was created to bridge the access gap by connecting Boston-based executives with emerging professionals—on and off the course. Leading into the first annual HBCU Weekend in August of 2025 outside of Boston, this one of a kind event was designed to welcome under-represented communities to the game, highlighting the impact and charitable good behind the sport of a lifetime.
PGA LEAD was created to identify, mentor and progress PGA Members from under-represented backgrounds along a guided path to volunteer leadership roles at the Chapter, Section and National levels of the Association.
We are breaking down traditional barriers to ensure that every individual—regardless of background, ability, or experience—has a clear path to the fairway. Join us in making golf the most inclusive sport in New England.
