Participant Spotlight

Meet Hannah Speizer

In September, Hannah and several students at her school, Legacy Magnet Academy in Tustin, set a goal to raise $10,000 for Children with Cancer. The students (6-11th grade) reached their $10K goal just 3 weeks in and raised a total of nearly $18,000 by the end. Hannah's participation included raising money for promoting, and donating her hair to be made into a wig.

"Both my Grandfathers died of cancer, so this project feels personal. Donating my hair makes a direct impact on a child going through cancer treatment. My hair will grow back eventually!"

Thank you Hannah for giving back to the community!

What is "Player of the Day"?

At the end of every First Tee class, the coaches all get together for a few minutes to discuss which participant(s) in class deserve to be named the "player of the day". The player of the day is the 1-3 participants that best exemplified the core lesson of the day during class, ex. showed respect, was a good sport, dealt well with challenges, etc.

The player of the day is not necessarily who hit the most amazing golf shots of the day, but who best showed the character value discussed by the coaches. Players of the day are recognized at the end of class with a round of applause, a star on their name tag, an extra snack, and even a golf ball or other fun prize!

Girl's Golf & Boy's Golf

Girl's Golf is a fun, social class for girls to meet other girls and create a safe & friendly environment. Last Thursday, the girls had a fun night building personalized tags for their golf bags. Everyone was positive, respectful, and extremely creative while designing their own tag. Each girl showcased their beautiful work and explained the idea behind their build. Girl's Golf helps prepare girls ages 6 – 17 for a lifetime of enjoyment of the game while also inspiring them to feel confident, build positive self-esteem and live active and healthy lives through The Five E’s of Girls Golf .
