Belle Glade veterans are in full swing! Our Coaches offer lessons for the golfers and the group, then they play 18 holes. Thank you Belle Glade Municipal Golf Course for hosting our nation’s heroes.

We conducted an outing for the 22 Project at Drive Shack to teach their veterans all about the fundamentals of golf. The 22 Project’s top priority is supporting our nation’s veterans. They work with highly trained, board-certified physicians to provide advanced diagnostic imaging to show the impact of Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD on our soldiers.

Chapter alumna Jayda Dookie has found herself nestled in the heart of Orlando for her summer in the Disney College Program. She has been immersed in a myriad of opportunities provided by the program, from Disney’s illuminating leadership classes, hands-on work experiences, and the ability to explore the Disney Parks.  Jayda’s summer can be seen as nothing short of magical.

Being in the epicenter of theme parks, Jayda is seizing the opportunity to deepen her understanding of her chosen majors, Supply Chain Management and Global Studies. Using Disney as a backdrop, she uses the workshops they give to highlight the balance between imagination and logistics that makes the company so successful.

The Fore All Junior Golf Foundation’s team of ambassadors hosted Tabor Academy for a match at The Park during their spring break trip to South Florida.  Ten members of each team played in the matches.  The Tabor group graciously donated directly to our organization in honor of the Fore All team.

The Fore All Junior Golf Foundation has been set up by Carson Lowe, age 14, and Nicholas Zaccagnino, age 15, to increase accessibility to the best courses and tournaments in the United States. Jordan has been an exemplary member of our mission, increasing the viability and accessibility, and bringing new junior golfers into better environments. Each ambassador is charged with increasing the viability, and accessibility, organizing clinics, raising funds, and helping to bring new junior golfers into better environments. First Tee is a benefactor of their work.
