First Tee – Silicon Valley hosted our Girls Golf Play Day on Saturday, February 24th at Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course. Twelve of our FTSV’s Girls Golf members had a fun filled day where they played various versions of golf with their mothers. It was a great opportunity for some of our parents to experience golf for the first time. Yenny, mother of Lizbeth, enjoyed the opportunity to golf with her daughter. “I am very grateful and happy for the opportunity that the Mother-Daughter play day gives us to be able to spend time sharing and enjoying golf with our children on the golf course. Thank you so much!”
What were they playing?
The girls and their mothers were challenged to play four holes of stroke play, two holes of frisbee golf, and two holes of soccer golf. The groups had a chance to work as team as well as play individually. Playing in larger groups gives our young participants the opportunity to develop interpersonal skills as they met participants from all three of our locations. Gracie, a First Tee alumni and current FTSV coach, witnessed firsthand how important these moments between mother and daughter are. “I loved seeing moms come out and join the girls this past Girl’s Golf event. It’s so important that the participants have someone in their daily life who is there to not only motivate and support them, but to also participate in what is enjoyable for the players. Through this event we were able to foster an environment where a different aspect of the mother-daughter bond could grow.”
Special thanks to Coach Gracie, Varnika, Salma, and Alexandra for guiding our families on the golf course!
At the end of their round, our families enjoyed a pizza party while they created a memento by taking a polaroid and decorating a picture frame. Our Girls Golf Play Days are beneficial events where our participants enjoy a stress-free environment with friends, old and new, led by our supportive group of female coaches. The next event is scheduled for May 11th. Contact Manny at [email protected] for more information.
