The Friends of Howard University Golf (F-HUG), a not-for-profit 501(c)(3), was established to provide support to the Howard University Men’s and Women’s golf teams to become successful in a sport that has a low participation of minorities in the game. We also encourage their academic success, in order for them to become productive adults.
ABOUT THE TEAM
