Honoring the Legacy of Gene Weldon
The Gene’s Dream Foundation was created to honor the life, leadership, and lasting impact of Gene Weldon — a legendary mentor, visionary leader, and passionate supporter of young people and the game of golf.
Gene believed that golf was more than a game. It was a teacher of character, discipline, integrity, and confidence. Throughout his life, he inspired countless individuals through mentorship, encouragement, and his unwavering commitment to helping others succeed.
Today, the Gene’s Dream Foundation continues that mission by investing in the future of junior golf and creating opportunities for young golfers to grow both on and off the course.
A Legacy of Mentorship
Gene Weldon’s impact reached far beyond golf. He was known for his ability to inspire others, build relationships, and encourage people to chase their goals with passion and purpose.
The foundation proudly carries forward that spirit of mentorship by supporting young people who demonstrate dedication, sportsmanship, leadership, and a love for the game.
Supporting the Next Generation
At the heart of the Gene’s Dream Foundation is a commitment to junior golf.
Through scholarships, tournament support, youth programs, and community partnerships, the foundation works to make the game more accessible while helping young athletes pursue their dreams.
We believe every young golfer deserves the opportunity to learn, compete, and develop the life skills the game provides.

Supporting Local Student-Athletes
Our most recent programming, in partnership with the Jacob B. Elliott Memorial, included purchasing and donating launch monitors to 16 local high school golf programs across Brunswick, Horry, and Georgetown counties.
With more than $15,000 invested, these launch monitors are making an impact by giving student-athletes access to valuable technology that helps them practice, improve, and grow their love for the game. This initiative reflects the foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting junior golf and creating opportunities for the next generation of players.
