2025 BROKEN CLUB SEASON
The 2025 Broken Club season brought together 30 members, including 20 returning players, for another incredible year of competition and impact. Together we broke 20 clubs and donated $40,000, with $20,000 each going to First Tee Minnesota and MGA Youth on Course to help more kids get in the game of golf. From six premier Minnesota courses to countless memorable moments, this season showcased the power of the game and the generosity of our members. Congratulations to our season champion, Nick Welle, and thank you to everyone who made this year a success both on and off the course.

Empowering Youth with the Broken Club, First Tee & Youth on Course
In 2024, our Broken Club initiative provided First Tee with a $20,000 donation, which helped bring the joy of golf to 544 children and teens in St. Paul and Minneapolis. Our support funded three key areas: free lessons, free clinics, and free play opportunities, ensuring that kids who might not otherwise have the chance to play golf were able to experience the sport firsthand.
