I started Future Fairways because I wanted to share two things that changed the way I see the world: math and golf. I know that’s not a typical combo, but for me, they’ve always gone hand in hand. I’ve spent years on the golf course competing in high ranked junior tournaments, and I’ve also spent time struggling through math homework, just like everyone else. But when I started connecting the two, something clicked. Math didn’t feel so distant anymore. It became part of the game and something I could actually use, not just memorize.

Future Fairways is about showing children that they “can do hard things”. That they’re capable of solving problems, thinking strategically, and celebrating the little wins, whether it’s sinking a putt, chipping into a target or solving a word problem.

Each workshop is simple but meaningful. We split into teams, rotate between 3 stations: putting, chipping, and a math challenge tied to the game. With each rotation, kids earn stamps on a scorecard, building momentum and confidence without even realizing it. By the end, they’re not just better at golf or math, they’re more sure of themselves.

I truly believe that golf and learning shouldn’t be reserved for a certain kind of kid. Everyone deserves a chance to feel confident, curious, and successful. And that’s what Future Fairways is really about. One swing, one question, one kid at a time.
