Cognizant Ambassadors At Quantum

Chapter Executive Director Carl Mistretta and Board Member Anthony Coletta are Cognizant Classic Ambassadors. They recently joined their fellow Ambassadors to serve brunch for the children and families staying at the Quantum House on the campus of St. Mary’s Medical Center. Carl delivered his signature chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes and Anthony whipped up the eggs.

Quantum House is a caring and supportive home that lessens the burden for families whose children are receiving treatment in Palm Beach County for serious medical conditions.

ACE – Game-Planning For The Future

Join our Ace Program! Ace is an additional capstone program built for teens to help them game-plan what’s next. It integrates the skills and inner strengths they’ve developed at First Tee and points them toward exploring, investing in, and building a clear plan and assets for their next step. In 2024, there will be 7-10 “ACE Days” that will take place during a day off of school where students will gather to complete projects and play golf. This is a program that is a benefit to your eligible students and is in addition to your already existing First Tee program. Students must be 16 years old and an active participant in our program for at least 3 years. Please visit our registration website.

Fun With The Champions Club

First Tee programs are active at The Champions Club at Summerfield. We are currently running multiple programs for students of all ages and abilities.

On Thursdays, Coach Liam runs an after-school class for novice to intermediate players. This class has grown tremendously due to Coach Liam’s dedication to the students. This class focuses on the commitments and the fundamentals of golf. His students demonstrate an increase in student confidence and skillset.

On Saturdays, Coach Gabbie, LPGA, runs two LPGA Girls Golf Classes. This is a unique opportunity for girls to learn the game of golf in a female-dominated environment. Coach Gabbie always enjoys class with her students.
