Mission

The SIS is dedicated to furthering the game of golf as a mindful pursuit and as a tool for personal growth and transformation. We are committed to promoting golf's value system, honoring the game's history and Scottish roots and celebrating its many beauties and virtues. We conduct conferences, clinics and local gatherings. We advocate respect for the environment, sponsor charitable activities and publish a unique art and literary journal which is an anthology of poetry, fiction, commentary, historical essays and fine art inspired by golf. Membership is open to all who support our vision and purpose. Our name honors Shivas Irons, the mystical golf professional who was introduced to us in Michael Murphy's classic novel, "Golf in the Kingdom."

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

The SIS's operating programs involve various initiatives and activities using golf and sport to promote learning and transformative practice. We have a scholarship fund to introduce the benefits of golf to at-risk youth and to make our programs more widely available; we publish and distribute a member newsletter ("Connections") and maintain a website to encourage the sharing of concepts and ideas related to our mission; we sponsor seminars, forums and symposia on relevant topics and issues; through our member database we encourage grassroots networking activities; and we retain relationships with and support for other non-profit organizations whose mission and purposes are in alignment with ours. We publish and distribute "The Journal of the Shivas Irons Society," an award winning art and literary journal to foster high-quality and thought provoking writing on golf, golf's history, and the contribution of golf to personal development.
