Player Development Trust Fund

The British Columbia Golf Player Development Trust Fund (PDTF) provides junior and graduating junior golfers access to the sport of golf and the opportunity to develop their skills to their full potential, regardless of financial circumstances.

The Player Development Trust Fund provides:

Financial assistance to attend British Columbia Golf sanctioned events;
Bursaries and scholarships for post-secondary education;
Funding for professional coaching at local, provincial and national events, as well as individual coaching programs.

The PDTF is a registered charity under the National Sport Trust Fund and has no overhead so donations go directly to players and programs. British Columbia Golf covers all administration and management costs. A volunteer Board of Directors, operating independently of British Columbia Golf, manages the fund and determines how its assets are distributed. In 2010, the PDTF distributed approximately $35,000 for player assistance, coaching and scholarships. 100% of all money received is distributed.
