The golf clinic is free for the youth participants and plans are in the works to offer additional youth golf classes and STEM programs throughout the year.  The new Chevron Center was made possible by generous donations from the Astros Golf Foundation and Chevron Corporation.  It is part of the recent $34-million renovation of the Memorial Park Golf Course.
