“This is the future of golf and we need to get kids involved,” Mize said.

“Let them know how great of a game it is and get them started on the right foot so they can really enjoy the game… We need to keep them playing because it’s a game you can play your entire life and I love being out here with them.”

“I’m here an hour or two every day,” Flynn said. “This makes me want to come for four hours.”

Hailey Loins, 8, said riding the bus to the golf course was really fun but the best part was having Mize show her how to stand and hold the golf club.
