Alumni of The First Tee of Greater Sacramento
 
Presley Sanassarian  was a member of The First Tee of Greater Sacramento Jr Tour from 2012 - 2015.  During his time with our chapter, he progressed through the Life Skill Experience to achieve birdie level.  In 2013, Presley was nominated by fellow juniors and The First Tee of Greater Sacramento staff for the Core Value Award.  Presley always exuded The First Tee Nine Core Values, and was a very deserving recipient of this award.

After graduating from Rocklin High School in 2015, Presley started college at William Jessup University.  During his first semester, his grandfather passed away and his grandmother was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.  Presley chose to take a break from school to focus on his family.  Starting this fall, Presley will be attending and playing golf for Simpson University in Redding, CA. 

Presley recently noted,  "Since I started playing golf only five years ago, I feel honored to be playing college golf on a scholarship. I a m forever grateful for all that The First Tee has done for me. "
