Yesterday’s Golf Marathon at Three Fires Golf Club was extra special as it featured both adult and youth marathoners taking on the challenge together! ⛳️☀️

Several First Tee participants joined us on the course, playing alongside supporters and our Holland coaches, while raising funds to help create more opportunities for kids across West Michigan.
