United States Golf Association Foundation Inc

Programs: The usga foundation exists to support the missions and programs of the usga. One of those missions is to promote and conserve the history of the game of golf. As such, the usga and the usga foundation maintain a museum dedicated to the game's history. Additionally, the usga and the usga foundation serve as caretakers and stewards of the usga's archives collection. By collecting, preserving, and interpreting the historical developments of the game in the united states, with an emphasis on the usga and its champions, the museum promotes a greater understanding of golf's cultural significance for a worldwide audience. The museum sponsors a rich array of programs designed to educate and inspire the public about the history of golf and the usga's role in the game's development. The museum offers a wide variety of programming to suit audiences of all ages. Portions of the archives collection travel across the country to usga championship sites, member clubs, regional meetings and national and local museums and libraries. Also, a comprehensive website enables photos and videos to be shared with a wide audience. During 2011, as part of the plan of dissolution, the usga took over full responsiblity for all museum related activities and archive collection related activities.
