Darren Clarke Foundation
Overview

The Darren Clarke Foundation was established with two specific aims in mind and although we know many other issues, thoughts and ideas will mushroom and spawn from the two basic concepts.
-
To introduce the game of golf and the qualities of honesty, integrity, responsibility, fair play and equality, in addition to the fun of simply playing the game to children of all ages in all parts of Ireland who might not otherwise for a variety of reasons be they geographical or financial be exposed to the game of golf.
-
To pass on some of Darren Clarke's knowledge and some of the experience that he has gained during his career as a professional golfer and prior to that as an amateur. The target is for boys and girls who are already making a name for themselves and are already successful.
In furtherance of objective number one, there is a relationship with the Newry Golf Schools League and Junior Golf Ireland. Their partnership with Junior Golf Ireland includes several initiatives including an endorsement of the Player Manual by the Foundation, a beginners/infants pee wee type tournament sponsored by the Foundation and a number of scholarships whereby the Foundation will promote and pay for promising juniors to become members of recognised golf clubs.
Please go to the Champions Weekend section for further details on how to qualify and what’s involved in the Champions Weekend.
In relation to the second objective, it is Darren's belief that the Champions Weekend has proven to be a popular annual event and he hopes it will continue for many years to come.

Away from the course, the Foundation is also committed to raising money for various cancer charities.
