GRIP IT FORWARD

Giving Golf Clubs a New Life — From Sticks for Stix to Grip It Forward

At Māna2Golf, we are proud and honoured to be associated with Mr Ian Fowler (Chooky Travels) and the Sticks for Stix initiative supported by GolfWA.

Sticks for Stix was founded by Ian with a simple but powerful vision: to give pre-loved golf clubs and equipment a new purpose while helping make golf more accessible to people and communities throughout regional Western Australia.

We gratefully acknowledge Ian's vision, dedication and ongoing commitment to growing the game and creating opportunities for regional golfers.

Inspired by the same philosophy of giving back, reusing and sharing the game we love, Māna2Golf is introducing Grip It Forward in Queensland.

GRIP IT FORWARD

Grip It Forward is about more than golf grips. It is about extending the life of golf equipment, supporting regional golfers and encouraging the golfing community to help others experience the game.

Through Māna2Golf, we want to create opportunities for pre-loved clubs, grips and golf equipment to be collected, refreshed and passed forward to golfers and regional communities where they can make a difference.

One club. One grip. One golfer at a time.

Together, we can Grip It Forward and help grow the game throughout regional Queensland.

The Initiative

Why GRIP IT FORWARD?

Golf equipment is expensive. For many kids and families in regional Queensland — especially in remote and Indigenous communities — the cost of a basic set of clubs is a genuine barrier to entry. GRIP IT FORWARD changes that. We collect donated clubs, bags, and gear from golfers who've upgraded or moved on, clean and service them, and pass them on to clubs, schools, and community groups across the region. No cost. No fuss. Just golf.

The Process

How It Works

01

You Donate

Drop off or arrange collection of your unwanted clubs, bags, balls, or accessories. Any condition considered — we'll assess and service what we can.

02

We Service

Māna2Golf cleans, re-grips, and repairs donated equipment to bring it back to playable condition. Every set gets the same care as a paying customer's clubs.

03

We Deliver

Serviced equipment is matched with registered clubs, schools, and community groups across regional Queensland who have requested gear.

04

Someone Plays

A kid picks up a club for the first time. A returning golfer gets back on the course. A community club grows its membership. That's the māna in action.
