Vision
One Story
Recovery lives in the stories we share. Every round is a chance to be honest, be heard, and be known.
One Swing
Every swing is a fresh start. Golf teaches us patience, humility, and the grace of trying again—just like recovery.
One Gathering
Community isn’t built in a day. It’s built one tee time, one conversation, one gathering at a time.
Golf is one of the most social sports in the world, and one of the most alcohol-saturated. For people in recovery, that combination can make the course feel off-limits. Walk the Nine reclaims the game as a place of connection, not avoidance. The need is real:
• Long-term recovery depends on community and meaningful social connections.
• No dedicated sober golf community exists in the Twin Cities, or most metro areas, western Wisconsin, and Door County, Wisconsin.
• Younger generations are drinking less, creating a growing audience for alcohol-free social spaces.
• Nine holes is accessible. Low cost, low time commitment, high relational return.
• Recovery can be serious and seriously fun at the same time.
