Our Mission: PYGF uses an inclusive approach to golf instruction to improve the lives of Pittsburgh’s city youth.
Did you know most Pittsburgh Public School students never get to experience playing golf, or even touch a golf club? PYGF helps inner-city youth benefit from the unique opportunity to experience the game to learn nine core values: integrity, confidence, responsibility, trust, respect, courtesy, equity, accountability, and the “edge” to compete in life.
In 1991, Bob Yeager had a vision to create Pittsburgh Youth Golf Foundation (PYGF) and bring the game of golf to inner city kids who may never have the opportunity to play it. And so began the Pittsburgh Youth Golf Foundation, supporting 50 boys and girls from the Munhall and Homestead areas of Pittsburgh. PYGF provided busing, golf instruction and lunch at no charge to the students. Certified Tri-State PGA instructors provided golf instruction. In 1995, PYGF began its alliance with the Pittsburgh Public School System and the Tri-State Section of the PGA.
Today, PYGF continues our Spring Pittsburgh Public School golf programming as well as the Summer Golf Camp at Scally’s Golf Center, along with providing golf instruction to students at the Pittsburgh Public Schools City Connections Program.
Pittsburgh Youth Golf Foundation Board of Directors, staff, Tri-State PGA Golf Professionals, and most of all, the students that PYGF serves, are grateful to the following foundations, supporters, Country Clubs, and businesses for their kindness.
