Tune in September 19-21 to Golf Channel to watch Chapter student Elisa Hernandez compete in the Pure Insurance Championship Impacting First Tee at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill.

80 exceptional First Tee teens have been selected to compete in this life changing tournament.  The annual tournament uniquely pairs First Tee participants with PGA TOUR Champions professionals and amateurs from the business world for a week of competition and mentorship. The teens, ages 15 to 18, represent 48 First Tee chapters nationwide and will compete for the male and female pro-junior titles.

Elisa was chosen based on her golf skills and personal growth through First Tee’s youth development programs. This year’s class boasts an average GPA of 3.89 and nearly seven years of involvement with First Tee.

Our Boys & Girls Club All-Stars hit the range at AllGolf at C.B. Smith Park for a one-of-a-kind celebration of Youth Development Week, proudly sponsored by KemperSports.

From the moment the students picked up their clubs, it was game on. The All-Stars learned fundamentals like grip, stance, and posture, but also tackled teamwork, patience, and goal-setting.

And of course, a massive THANK YOU to KemperSports for making this impactful day possible.  Together, we are growing the commitment to the game, and supporting youth development continues to inspire us all.

We held two clinics for the Behavior Works Neurodiverse Summer Camp. We are now a program partner with Behavior Works during the school year!

Behavior Works is a special needs program based in Oakland Park, FL, that runs summer camp in Davie, FL, where students ages 4-15 attend these classes.

Fifteen students attended the golf program at their facility. Coach Robert Ferzoco teaches the classes with the help of their staff and counselors.

Special thank you to Michele Tull, M.S. BCBA, for her assistance in getting the program launched.

We had a blast hosting the fantastic young people from the Boys & Girls Club – Jim & Jan Moran Unit at AllGolf for a day filled with fun, fundamentals, and fairway flair!

This partnership with the Boys & Girls Club is more than just a fun day out; it’s about opening doors, building confidence, and introducing the values of golf to a new generation of leaders.

We are thrilled to kick off what we know will be an impactful and lasting relationship. The Jim & Jan Moran Unit is full of heart, talent, and potential, and we cannot wait to welcome them back for more golf programs and life skills development sessions.

In every sport, there are moments when you witness something special. Something special comes in the form of three incredible young golfers: Simon, Jacob, and Isaac Tuma, also known as The Tuma Trio.

These three rising stars began their golf journey just over a year ago.  From day one, Simon, Jacob, and Isaac have been all-in:

– First Tee Programming: Yes sir.
– PGA Junior League: You bet.
– Summer Camps: They’re regulars — and coach favorites.
– PGA Family Golf Champions: That’s right — reigning champs!

Whether they are working on their short game, stepping up in team play, or rocking their color wars gear at camp, the Tuma brothers show up with a love for the game that is impossible to miss. They are First Tee Game Changers.

They push each other to be better, cheer each other on, and make every practice more fun for everyone around them. The Tumas participate and elevate.

The Youth Force crew from the Boys & Girls Club brought their A-game and unlimited energy to AllGolf at CB Smith Park.  Great vibes for golf.  The day kicked off on the mini-putt course, where they experienced a mix of fierce competition, creative putting techniques, and lots of laughter. There were hole-in-ones made!

We wrapped up the day with high-fives, snacks, and the classic promise: “We HAVE to do this again.”  We are already looking forward to the next adventure with the students from the Boys & Girls Club.

One of our favorite nights of the year is our annual college scholarship party held at PGA Tour Superstore. This year we broke a new record awarding over $108,000 to alumni from our Palm Beach, Treasure Coast and Broward Chapters.   Seven alumni from the Broward Chapter received scholarships this year.

We’re thrilled to announce that our FORE Freedom veterans’ programs are back in action! Starting Tuesday, October 7th at 9:00 AM, we’ll be back on the range, ready to share the game we love with our nation’s heroes who have served our country.

This program is designed to bring veterans together in a welcoming, supportive environment where they can enjoy the outdoors, learn new golf skills, and build lasting friendships. No matter your experience level—whether you’re swinging a club for the first time or have been playing for years—this program is all about having fun, staying active, and connecting with others.

– When: Every Tuesday at 9:00 AM (starting October 7th)
– Where: AllGolf at CB Smith Park
– Who: Veterans of all skill levels

Join us each week for camaraderie, fresh air, and a few great shots along the way. We cannot wait to see our veteran community back in action!

Please visit our website for more information and to register.

We believe golf is more than a game; it is a pathway to healing, connection, and a sense of purpose. That belief comes to life every week at Eagle Trace, where our FORE Freedom offers a welcoming space to local veterans.

Led by the steady guidance of Coaches Matt and Darryl, the program blends golf instruction with camaraderie and emotional wellness.  Participants often speak of the program as a lifeline. For some, it is their first time picking up a club. For others, it is a return to a sport they once loved.

Thanks to the generosity of Eagle Trace Golf Club and the commitment of our coaches, the program continues to grow. We are proud to offer this experience at no cost to our veterans.  To make this happen, we are actively seeking donor support to expand access and deepen impact.

Please visit our website to make a secure online donation.

Only a few teams remain.  Please join us for our annual Fall Golf Tournament at the fabulous Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club on Monday, October 6th. This event will benefit the thousands of children, teens and veterans we serve in Broward County.
