The First Tee Club Championship was held in August at different venues and we had many winners in each age division who received personalized Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial flags. In July The First Tee of Fort Worth golfers travelled to Dallas to compete in a Ryder Cup format against The First Tee of Dallas chapter. Our golfers brought home the coveted Golden Cowboy Boot trophy! A rematch will be held in early spring.
We also ran 9 weeks of summer camps with an average enrollment of 50 students per week! The intensive week-long format helps improve golf skills and allows The First Tee instructors to provide more personalized instruction. Almost 50% of the golfers in the summer camps are new to The First Tee and most of these will matriculate into the Life Skills Program.
The Fort Worth City Junior Golf Championships in July featured many golfers from The First Tee as part of the record field. At least 50 girls and 75 boys from The First Tee participated in all age groups. This free tournament which is managed by Wendell Conditt allows the golfers to play a variety of great Fort Worth golf venues over the days of the tournament including Colonial CC, Shady Oaks, CC, Mira Vista CC and Woodcrest. This long standing tournament will celebrate its 75th anniversary next year and has a long list of great past champions including Lindy Miller, Mark Brooks, Hunter Haas and Angela Stanford. Check out the history of this great organization and tournament that provides such a wonderful opportunity to our The First Tee golfers.
