Fall Festival and Registration for The
First Tee of Savannah
The First Tee of
Savannah (TFTS), a youth
development organization
that teaches life skills utiliz
ing the game of golf, will be
hosting a fall festival and reg
istration November 7, 2009
from 10:30 a.m. until noon,
at the Mary Calder Golf
Course located on the
grounds of International
Paper.
Karen Bogans,
Executive Director for TFTS
says “The First Tee is a great
year around program that
provides our youth the oppor
tunity to develop a stronger
sense of confidence, increase
their perseverance, and
improve their judgment, three
of the nine core values of the
program. We particularly
want to encourage minorities
and girls to get involved. It
is an opportunity for them to
be exposed to a sport they do
not traditionally participate
in, and take advantage of the
many educational opportuni
ties we offer including A/B
Flonor Roll Recognition, the
Scholars Program, and the
Leadership Academy.”
The First Tee wants to
increase the number of
young people in the City of
Savannah that are exposed to
this life long sport. “Our
goal is not to make great
golfers— it is to make great
people. Becoming a great
golfer is oftentimes a
byproduct of the program,”
says Bogans.
Some of the older partici
pants who have met certain
criteria have played in the
Walmart Pebble Beach Open,
and The First Tee Invitational
at Callaway Gardens.
Last year, for the first
time, Coca-Cola sponsored a
program where qualified
First Tee participants got an
opportunity to meet top level
executives and discuss career
options.
