Scratch Golf
Scratch Golf was founded in 2016 in Cincinnati, Ohio, by Spencer Timmel. Spencer’s son, Charlie, was born with transposition of the great arteries, a CHD, and received life saving open heart surgery at just six days old.
Spencer realized that not all families are as lucky as his, and wanted to help share a non-contact, outdoor sport that any child can learn, play, and have fun doing.
SCRATCHgolf has spread to four cities and touched the lives of many children. If you are interested in learning more or joining the program please reach out!

Love for the Game + SCRATCHgolf
“I was thinking today after my tournament I played in. I was reminded how much I am thankful for your major part in getting me in golf. I can’t be more thankful for SCRATCHgolf and the clubs you got me into the game. Your impact will never be forgotten, oh and by the way I was runner-up today in my first tournament!”
