Martin County Police Athletic League (PAL) student Julian DelValle is the most determined student imaginable. He always arrives at class excited and ready to play. He continues to practice outside the class at our Sailfish Sands program. He is a dedicated student-athlete, who aspires to continue improving his golf skills. He is a great role model for the other students in his class.
Chapter Director Kevin Seits visited a class at Sailfish Sands. He said about the day that, “The staff and kids were doing a great job and having a great deal of fun.”
Boys and Girls Club of St. Lucie County, Ken Pruitt, went on a field trip to Jensen Beach Golf Club. The students had a blast!
The students spent 5 weeks with Coach Gabbie, LPGA, at the Ken Pruitt club learning the fundamentals of golf. After learning with SNAG equipment, the group transitioned to using real clubs and balls. One student asked Coach Gabbie at the end of the day if “they could come back every day.” Coach Gabbie is very proud of these students for their achievements and their willingness to try new things.

Savannah Mansueti and Nyla Sims, distinguished alumnae of our chapter, recently embarked on a transformative journey through the Leadership Pathway program at the 2024 MMI Summit in Miami, FL.
Selected as representatives of the National First Tee Alumni Program, they ventured into an experience that not only enriched their leadership skills but also expanded their professional networks. Networking proved to be instrumental throughout the program.
When asked about recommending this opportunity to other First Tee alumni, Mansueti and Sims wholeheartedly endorsed it. “The summit offered us invaluable resources, presentations, and networking opportunities,” said Mansueti. “This program will significantly benefit us during these early stages of our careers, particularly in the finance realm.”
Both Savannah and Nyla are full-time employees of our Chapter. Savannah is the Manager of Operations and Nyla is our Program Coordinator.

As always, Tuesday of tournament week featured our annual Junior Clinic.
Dennis Walters, and PGA Tour professional Parker Coody hosted this year’s clinic. The event began with Dennis and Gussie putting on their inspirational show of chasing your dreams featuring golf trick shots. Gussie even hit a few shots. Does Dennis ever miss a shot?
Parker is the grandson of 1971 Master’s Champion Charles Coody. He played college golf at the University of Texas before turning professional and earning his PGA TOUR card. Parker talked to the kids and teens about his cherished memories playing golf with his grandfather and the importance of the short game that leads to lower scoring. He watched chapter student Wylie Inman hit some drives and challenged him to a long drive competition.
Hot dogs and snacks were served to all that attended. Over 60 juniors joined us for the clinic.
