The Forefathers Golf Association, Inc. is more than just a group of golfers; it’s a brotherhood forged on the green. Born from the merger of diverse groups – Panyero Golf, Fore The Boys, Fore The Squadron, GCash Boyz, Fore For Life, and G-Passion – the Forefathers share a common vision: to elevate golf beyond a mere sport, transforming it into a catalyst for personal growth and community building.
The mission is clear: to foster sportsmanship, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging. On the course, the members embrace the principles of respect, integrity, honesty, and self-control, while off the course, they cultivate strong bonds of friendship and shared experiences.
The Forefathers see golf as a vehicle for personal growth, promoting self-identity and social connections. It provides a platform for individuals from different generations and walks of life to connect, fostering physical, social, and civic interactions. The organization’s corporate personality allows its members to expand their horizons, forging connections with similar organizations both locally and internationally, and learning valuable life skills along the way.
The name “Forefathers” wasn’t chosen lightly. It reflects the diverse personalities of its members – a blend of the good, the bad, and the handsome, all united by a shared passion for the game and a commitment to sportsmanship. It’s a family where loyalty is paramount, where each member strives to embody the virtues of a true sportsman both within the organization and in their daily lives.
The inspiration for the name? The iconic movie “The Godfather.” Don Corleone’s famous lines, “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse” and “Friendship is everything,” resonate deeply with the Forefathers. While their playful “palusutan” (wagers) might be irresistible, the unbreakable bond of friendship remains the cornerstone of their brotherhood.
The Forefathers Golf Association, Inc. is a testament to the power of shared passion, the strength of camaraderie, and the enduring legacy of a brotherhood forged on the green.
