Meet Chapter student Maddie Fenelus. At 9 years old, Maddie participates with energy, curiosity, and a smile big enough to power the driving range lights. She steps onto the practice tee with confidence, treats her peers and coaches with genuine respect, and tackles every new practice drill with perseverance. Whether we are working on chipping, putting, full swing, or life skills, Maddie brings a positive attitude and eagerness to learn.

Palm-Aire Country Club programs have enjoyed tremendous success. With a total of 35 students participating this year, we will continue the momentum in 2026. Coach Robert Ferzoco conducts the afterschool program and two Saturday programs on the Oaks and Cypress practice area.

CRCC is one of our most important and generous sponsors.  They host our Par 3 Corporate Challenge in May and our 100-Hole Challenge in the fall, two of our biggest fundraisers that allow us to serve thousands of kids, teens and veterans in Broward County.  We sincerely appreciate the continued support of the membership, Managing Partner J.J. Sehlke and Director of Golf Scott Fox.

Their championship 18-hole golf course at CRCC is a timeless masterpiece designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1954. Restored by son, Rees Jones in 2020, the course bears classic runway style tee boxes, a signature of his father, with undulating greens that are precisely bunkered. The course offers an array of course lengths and difficulties for their members of all ages and skill levels to enjoy playing. The course is commonly described as the “crown jewel” of Fort Lauderdale.

The Lincoln Park Academy Boys Golf Team is had a standout season with a 10–2 record! Our Chapter sponsored the team and outfitted the players with brand-new uniforms. We wanted to ensure the players looked and felt their best while representing their school on the course.

Under the guidance of Coach Willie Scott and Coach Mark Cammarene, PGA, the team developed their golf skills and learned the life lessons and character values of First Tee.  We are very thankful to our generous that help us make this possible for these teens.

“The uniforms really brought the team together,” said Coach Willie. “It gave the players a sense of pride and unity every time they stepped onto the course. That confidence has carried into how they play and how they carry themselves.”
