Welcome to the official website of The Golf Foundation
The Golf Foundation salutes Open Champion Louis Oosthuizen.
Before the South African had struck a shot en route to his great victory, he was helping the future of the game by supporting the Golf Foundation’s Golf Roots programme in the tented village at St Andrews.
On a foul day of wet weather on Wednesday, Louis was happy to walk over the course in pouring rain to the R&A Swingzone. After playing Tri-Golf games, he said, "I was delighted to help. Youngsters need encouragement to get into golf and I was really pleased to help the Golf Foundation.”
With the Claret Jug and Championship Belt in front of him in a post-event press conference as Open Champion 2010, Louis said that Tri-Golf was good preparation for the main event. “I wanted to grab that plastic club actually because it felt so nice. It was fun doing that and you could see the kids having a lot of fun with it.”
Well done Louis. See you again next year.
The Golf Foundation extends a special thanks to Titleist, the #1 ball in golf, whose encouragement helped make it a memorable Open Championship for grass roots junior golf.
