2019 Girls Golf “Mixed-Up” Sports Competition

On November 16^th, The First Tee of Silicon Valley hosted The Girls Golf “Mixed Up” Sports Competition.  With 12 Girls Golf members registered, the participants played nine holes of golf with a twist.  Each hole was designed to use equipment from other sports to play out the hole within the rules of golf.  The girls were introduced to foot golf, archery golf, frisbee golf, tennis golf, and lacrosse golf.  Within the group, archery golf was by far the most popular. “Archery golf gave me my first birdie!!!” – Jennifer, a Girls Golf member. Each group member was tasked with keeping track of another player’s score.  It was great to see the girls helping each other out with aim and alignment despite being in a competition with each other. The day concluded with prizes, trivia, and brunch provided by Rancho Del Pueblo Golf Course. Girls Golf Play Days are beneficial events where our female participants enjoy an all-female day with friends and a supportive group of coaches and volunteers.  For many, the Mixed-Up Sports Competition was their first exposure to a tournament setting in golf.  With the help of sports equipment from other sports, the girls were able to learn tournament play in a pressure free setting. Congratulations to our girls for playing with integrity and perseverance! Girl’s Golf dates are set for 2020: February 29th, May 30th, August 22nd, and November 14th.  Registration opens up 3 weeks prior.
