First Tee - Greater New Orleans

05/26/2026

This First Tee Week, First Tee alum Cam Jordan wanted to recognize Coach Ron Gould, who inspired him during his time at the University of California, Berkeley and became a mentor both on and off the field. Whether it was pushing him to improve, offering guidance, or simply believing in him, Coach Gould made a lasting impact that extended far beyond the game.

At First Tee, we know great coaches do more than teach skills. They build confidence, create opportunities, and help young people believe in themselves.

We love our coaches and mentors who continue helping build game changers every day 💚⛳️

Dear Coach 💚

Thank you for the encouragement, confidence, support, and memories that go far beyond the golf course!

This First Tee Week, we’re celebrating the coaches and mentors who help our participants grow as golfers and as people.

So thankful for our LPGA*USGA Girls Golf community and the incredible role models who continue to help build game changers every day ⛳️

Zurich week was one for the books! 🤩⛳️

From hosting the Manning Family Junior Clinic with Austin Smotherman, alum and ambassador, and Aaron Rai fresh off a T24 finish… to our Caddie Day where our kids got inside the ropes and learned from the pros… it was a week full of moments they’ll never forget.

We were especially proud to celebrate our participant DJ Randolph, who received a scholarship through Entergy’s Eagles for Education program, helping raise $75,000 this year for youth across our community 👏

We loved having Cam Jordan, First Tee alum, out there with us. It made the day extra memorable for our families!

Huge thank you to all the players, , of New Orleans, and our incredible First Tee staff and volunteer community for making opportunities like this possible. Grateful is an understatement 💚

Building bridges and broadening horizons! 🤝 It was a privilege to host KIPP New Orleans for a day of meaningful connection. Our students gained invaluable insights from local trailblazers like Zurich Classic Chairwoman Torie Kranze, Miss Louisiana, and the Army Reserve. Investing in our youth today leads to a stronger community tomorrow.

Join us at the Manning Family Children’s Hospital Kids Tent, we will be here all week!! 🤍💚
