Today is our first day of Summer Camp! Last year we loaned out a record number of golf sets (46); today, we handed out 51 sets to kids who didn't have their own! We're excited to see so many new faces and hope all of our Summer Campers have a fantastic week!

First Tee Game Changers Academy is a transformative five-day learning and empowerment experience. Selected teens from across the U.S. will engage in meaningful discussions on self-awareness, inclusive leadership, and community building – skills they will carry with them throughout their lives. First Tee invites its partners to lead dynamic, interactive workshops, complemented by reflective activities guided by our nationally trained First Tee coaches.

This experience is designed to enlighten, inspire, and empower teens, preparing them to become Game Changers in their communities now and in the future. The academy is named in honor of former First Tee CEO Joe Louis Barrow, Jr., a passionate advocate for empowering the next generation.

Congratulations to Carlie Matengula! We are so excited to share that she has been selected as a First Tee Scholar! This is an incredible achievement! She was surprised with this news at The Chevron Championship in Houston last week during a First Tee Alumni Network meeting.

The First Tee College Scholarship Program supports selected alumni throughout their college career. The need and merit-based program provides scholarships up to $5,000 per year, renewable for up to four years of college admission. The program also provides professional development workshops, access to internships and full-time employment placement post-graduation. One of the key factors of the program is pairing Scholars with a dedicated adult mentor who will help encourage and guide them throughout the four years.

Congratulations once again, Carlie. We are all so proud of you!

"Each Tuesday is a special day for me; filled with helping the players grow their golf knowledge, challenge themselves, and maybe even catch the golf bug. After years of coaching, the returning players even gave me a nickname; proof they are having fun, respect the game, and each other." -Jonathan
