Meet and Greet with Dave Appleby

For Coach Dave Appleby, golf has been a lifelong love, beginning at the age of 13 when he was growing up in Gouverneur, New York. His family took up the game together, and Appleby never looked back. Although he played many sports -- football, baseball, basketball and hockey -- golf was his favorite because "it was an individual sport that I could practice on my own and essentially become as good as I wanted to be."

6th Annual Champions Challenge

On April 11, 18 and 25, fourth graders from the nearly 30 Howard County public schools who participate in The First Tee's National School Program came out to Fairway Hills for the 6th Annual Champions Challenge. This fun community event is designed to give 10 students each from participating schools a chance to drive, putt, chip and experience how those life and golf skills they have been learning in physical education classes translate on the greens. To see more photos from the 2016 Champions Challenge, check out our Facebook page.

A Successful 9th Annual Taste for the First Tee

On April 14, 175 of our generous supporters attended the 9th Annual Taste for The First Tee at Turf Valley for an evening of dinner, drinks, and live and silent auctions. A big thank you to everyone who made the evening a success by purchasing tickets and tables,  bidding on auction items and sponsoring this key fundraiser for our organization. We especially want to thank our phenomenal volunteer planning committee from our board of directors: Ben Clements, David Feldman, Nicola Morgal and Jaime Petit, led by our outstanding committee chair, Michael Bosica. 

In total, the 9th Annual Taste for The First Tee raised more than $46,000 in support of our  character education and life skills programs that help young people be successful in school and in life.
