XGC
About XGC
Our Mission
XGC is a free, private golf club giving promising St. Louis area junior golfers the resources and direction to develop into elite college golfers.
XGC uses the Ignatian principal of consistent self-examination to teach its golfers how to develop their personal identity, a clear picture of their goals, and the honesty, accountability, and discipline it takes to reach those goals.
XGC was founded on the simple principal that success is ultimately the result of a consistently applied process, and when a young person reaches an exceptional goal early in life, he ultimately is developing a skill set that will provide him with cumulative success in perpetuity.
Who is Saint Xavier?
Francis Xavier is Patron Saint and namesake of our company because we, just like Saint Xavier, have committed ourselves to...
"Go anywhere and endure any condition.”
