Devin Shaw, a 50-year-old Army Veteran with 12 years of service as a unit supply specialist, is making waves in the golf community through his involvement with our veterans’ programs.
A passionate golfer with 15 years of experience, Devin discovered First Tee just three years ago and has since become a dedicated ambassador for the organization.
He has taken the initiative to start several programs for veterans, including a Monday session in Belle Glade and a Tuesday program at Drive Shack. He also leads the Wednesday veterans’ program at Dyer Park and runs a special summer program for blind veterans on Wednesdays.
In addition to his work with veterans, Coach Devin is a familiar face at the Martin Downs Pro shop where he works with his First Tee – Treasure Coast mentor, Joe Grohman, PGA. Together Groman and Shaw dedicate their Fridays to mentoring kids, teaching golf and instilling our values and life skills.
Coach Devin’s commitment to the sport and community is evident in his achievements on the Veteran’s Golf Association competitive tour, where he has won three tournaments this past year. Driven by his commitment to children and veterans, Coach Devin is not just a volunteer but also has lofty professional aspirations. He is currently a Level 2 First Tee Coach and is working towards becoming a Level 3 Coach.
His journey and contributions highlight his passion for golf and his dedication to giving back to the community that has supported him. His efforts are a testament to the positive impact that programs like First Tee can have on individuals and the broader community.
