Pards pairs San Diego kids with experienced adult golfers who donate their time — range sessions and real rounds — so families who love sports but never played golf finally have a way in.
Old golf (and cowboy) slang for your partner: the one you share the round with. At Pards, every player gets one — a mentor in their corner, on and off the course.
Plenty of San Diego families are deep into sports — but golf can feel like a closed door if no one in the house plays. Pards opens it. We connect kids with golfers who love the game and want to pass it on, in a low-pressure, encouraging environment where every kid feels they belong.
Time on the range and out on the course with a steady pard — learning the game, the etiquette, and the joy of it without the cost of private lessons.
You already get coaching, practice, and showing up. If golf is the one sport you can't teach your kid, we're the on-ramp.
Experienced golfers and instructors donate their time to make kids feel important — and to grow the game they love in their own community.
Simple by design. We keep groups small so every kid gets real attention from their pard.
Each player is matched with a pard — an instructor for skills or a low-handicap volunteer who loves to play and teach.
Regular, short practice sessions to build fundamentals and confidence — fundamentals with the pros, fun with the crew.
The best part: getting out as a foursome and actually playing. That's where kids fall in love with the game.
Range and play times for our starter group. Sign up below and we'll get you on the list.
Times are a starting cadence and will grow as more pards join. Locations are San Diego municipal courses.
Whether you've got a kid who wants to play or you're a golfer who wants to give back, tell us a little about you and we'll be in touch.
