While the US Open is presenting its own grand standing and action, the USGA (United States Golf Association) announces that it is awarding 143 grants to promote and support golf programs, and these are not related to the US Open.

The USGA awards, amounting to $2.65 million, are intended to assist economically-disadvantaged juniors and individuals with disabilities.

 

The funds are used for construction of accessible golf facilities,transportation methods, equipment and access to the courses and driving range, and for instruction to participants.

The USGA grants committee parsed 160 applicants for their program "For the Good of the Game".

At the same time as the USGA is supporting easier access to golf and instruction to disadvantaged and disabled children and adults, the US Open is under threat of loss of popularity and rule changes to make it more difficult to play.
