Our Chapter began a new 2021 golf program with Special Olympics Florida.
We send a special thank you to Spirit Airlines and Chapter Director Laurie Villa in assisting with funding for this program.
This new program will run 9 consecutive weeks on Saturdays at the Grand Palms Hotel-Spa & Golf Resort in Pembroke Pines.
Nine athletes, ages 18 and up, were introduced to First Tee with hopes to train and compete in the Special Olympics golf competitions in the Fall. Golf clubs were provided for those who needed them. Athletes also each received 2 sleeves of golf balls.
First Tee Recognized Coaches Robert Ferzoco and James Rondeau are teaching the program along with Special Olympics Nova Agency Coordinator Greg Mingo.
