Chapter CEO, Carl Mistretta, recently had the privilege to meet the new Honorary Chair of First Tee– Jim Nantz. Jim’s distinguished broadcasting career spans more than four decades. He becomes the third Honorary Chair in First Tee’s history, following President George W. Bush (2011-2024) and President George H.W. Bush (1997-2010). As Honorary Chair, Jim will help promote First Tee’s purpose and expand its reach to empower even more young people.
“Throughout my career, I have witnessed firsthand how golf builds character, resilience and integrity – the very qualities First Tee instills in young people,” said Jim Nantz. “I am honored to serve as Honorary Chair and support an organization that uses this remarkable game to help kids develop the strength of character they will carry with them throughout their lives.”
