The Tennessee Golf Foundation (TGF) has a mission to promote golf and its life-enhancing values with an emphasis on teaching youth and the disadvantaged. Lissa Bradford is the Director of Junior Golf for the TGF and believes that girls fit in both categories as youth and disadvantaged. "As a junior golfer, I played with my Mom or the boys. There weren't many girls my age that played golf, and we were spread out all over the state. Many more opportunities are available for girls today and lots more girls are playing, but I think we can strengthen the connections between the girls and the opportunities. I want to dedicate this site to girls so they can explore the appropriate programs and events and have fun with other girls."
The Tennessee Golf Foundation has several other strong female role models involved as well as female professionals across the state that have the same goals in mind and want to connect with the girls in their area.
