In 2007, the NCGA Foundation held its inaugural event for Sandy's Circle charter members. The five charter members played a round of golf at Harding Park with former USGA President Sandy Tatum and Hall of Fame member Tom Watson. The event raised nearly $200,000 to support Foundation programs and Youth on Course. Sandy has been a proponent of youth golf since long before the emergence of any formal programs to meet this need.

He has championed the First Tee program and also more recently joined the NCGA Foundation in the implementation of our pioneering Youth on Course program, which picks up where other junior golf and life skills programs leave off – by ensuring kids can continue playing golf, while learning the life lessons and values that are intrinsically part of the game.
Plans are underway for the next Sandy's Circle event to be held in late 2008.
