The creation of Golf House Iowa will provide a permanent home to preserve, promote, and protect the game of golf in our great state. We plan to include the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame and Museum, a space for educating golfers, areas to promote and teach the game, and office space for the Iowa Golf Assocation, IGA Foundation, Iowa Golf Course Superintendents Association and First Tee - Central Iowa.
GOALS AND IMPACT
The creation of Golf House Iowa will provide a permanent home to preserve, promote, and protect the game of golf in our great state. We plan to include the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame and Museum, a space for educating golfers, areas to promote and teach the game, and office space for the Iowa Golf Association, IGA Foundation, Iowa Golf Course Superintendents Association and First Tee - Central Iowa.
The IGA & IGA Foundation plans to provide administration space to partnering golf organizations such as the Iowa Turfgrass Institute (Iowa Golf Course Superintendents) and First Tee – Central Iowa, helping to bring added awareness to their wonderful missions and programs. Some goals and figures on the potential impact of Golf House Iowa include:
GOALS…
- Significantly increase awareness of the Iowa Golf Hall of Fame as no such physical space exists at this time
- Highlight and honor the historic victories of Zach Johnson and Jack Fleck, to the major championships hosted at Iowa golf courses, to the impact of Iowa companies such as Standard Golf on the game at the global level
- Conservatively estimate 1,000+ visitors in the first year, including at least 10 elementary school field trips
- Increase Youth on Course participation to over 1,500 kids within 5 years
- Grow First Tee – Central Iowa to over 1,000 summer program participants within two years
- Hold at least 10 field trips for 3rd, 4th, & 5th grade classes as part of “The First Green” program where students learn about the STEM that goes into caring for a golf course
