Our Advisory Board is comprised of people from other golf organizations, officials from various communities, communications experts, businessmen, and people from other varied backgrounds. Their common bond is their love of golf and an awareness of how golf can breed character in children. There are three primary goals for the Hook A Kid On golf Advisory Board and its members:

1. To act as ambassadors of Hook A Kid On Golf by creating awareness and support throughout Illinois.
2. To lend expertise and experience to our effort to create a model program in Illinois.
3. To foster cooperative support from other golf organizations as we work together or youth golf in Illinois.
