First Tee - Minnesota

We had a fantastic time hosting our Free Highland District Council Golf Clinic this weekend with support from SCHEELS and the InSports Foundation!☀️

Kids rotated through putting, chipping, and full swing stations with help from our coaches & volunteers. To wrap up the clinic, each child got to pick out an ice cream treat from the Big Bell ice cream truck.🍦

Thank you to everyone who helped make it such a fun day!
