Since 2004, U.S. Kids Golf has recognized golf's best coaches with the Top 50 Kids Coach Award. Applicants complete an online survey and winners are chosen based on a variety of factors that grade their contribution to youth golf. Considerations include, but are not limited to, experience, innovation, creativity, communication, parental engagement, organization, devotion, and growing the game. Award recipients include coaches who work at public, private, resort, and municipal courses.
