The Club at Ibis generously hosted our first annual Chapter Championship. Three person teams from the Treasure Coast, Palm Beaches and Broward Chapters competed in a one best-ball format. As expected, it came down to the last few holes with Palm Beaches shooting 2-under par 70 to edge Broward by two shots. The winning Palm Beaches team players were Billy Reid, Zoe Shamy and Jayda Dookie (pictured above left with Palm Beach President Bobby Hendel and Program Coordinator Zack Anderton).
Treasure Coast team players were Ridgeway Clark, Garrett Miller and Brian Sowerbutts.
We also had an individual alumni division won by Tyler Mistretta (pictured above middle) with a bogey free round of 2-under 70 to beat Janelle Johnson by five shots.

George Taylor, U.S. Navy Veteran, has been playing golf for 24 years. He joined our 8-week program at Eagle Trace – Coral Springs.
When asked about his experience at the program, he said, “My time at the golf program with First Tee was a great instructional experience. I was invited to apply to attend the this veterans’ program by a friend who promised me that I would enjoy the comradery, and golf instruction that First Tee provides to the veterans. He was right! The coaches, John, Pat, and Julian were exceptionally patient, and their knowledge of the game was amazing. My thanks to First Tee and Jack Bloomfield for organizing a wonderful program for veterans.”
