G4L came about based on the realisation that there were talented golfers struggling to progress through the ranks due to a lack of support and resources. An important factor we have considered from the start is not only the talent of the individual but the early adversities that may hinder them going forward not just in golf, but more importantly in life itself.
“There is something tremendously rewarding about providing unconditional support and sometimes, just sometimes, people have the opportunity to make a huge difference to society and engineer an outstanding sporting legacy”.
G4L Co-Founders, James Byers & Bill Curbishley
Over 20 elite amateur titles
Nine elite titles in the first six weeks of the season, followed up by the Walton Heath Trophy, Annika Invitational, English Amateur and Scottish Amateur.
The MENA Tour order of merit is added to the Portuguese Amateur title and the Sunningdale Foursomes in the early part of 2020. The remainder of the season was limited due to COVID, nevertheless the North of England and Tillman Trophy Titles are added.

As well as funding our Invitational in October 2018, Tony North, Centtrip co-founder and Centtrip Music CEO, always offers sound advice and internships for players leaving or wanting to leave the game of golf.
Golfing4Life’s affiliation with Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America is a key tenet of our organisation and raising awareness of their work is of paramount importance to us.
We are proud to have the responsibility of encouraging the promotion alongside changing the perception of charity through our player apparel and G4L eventing.
Bringing an understanding of true adversity to our younger academy players is an all-important life education, which can stand them in good stead and reflect positively on their performance, releasing anxieties that come with the pressures of elite sport.
When our Golfing4life players turn 18, they have the opportunity to visit the Teenage Cancer Trust wards and become real ambassadors. Our aspirations are for these players to develop to European Tour status and become champions while all the time creating substantial awareness for charity.
Currently only reaching around half of all young people with cancer, the charity needs help to raise funds to develop and extend its services into even more hospitals across the UK. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity that provides the specialised nursing and emotional support that young people with cancer aged 13-24 so desperately need.
Their world-leading nursing care helps young people deal with the many ways cancer affects your body, mind and life. They bring young people together to support each other so they feel less scared

“Support and opportunity for young people should be enhanced through all walks of life. The work that Bill Curbishley, James Byers and the rest of team G4L provide should be commended at the highest level.
