FTSV Tournaments Archives - First Tee

Girls Golf: Cosmic Play Day – A day of fun and friendship on the golf course! We kicked off the morning with an ice breaker where everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what food they enjoy.

Our first highlight was capturing a fantastic group picture, an essential keepsake to remember this special day. Our players were divided into groups and set off to complete their mission of space exploration!

Each hole was presented with a new mission:

Hole 1, our participants navigated their ball through our asteroid field. They were tasked to make their putt without colliding into the asteroids.

Hole 2, our participants were on a rescue mission to send 10 astronauts onto a rocket ship. The goal was to chip 10 balls to our rocket ship target.

Hole 3, our participants explored planet to planet by hitting their golf balls to each target on the fairway before going for the green.

After a successful space mission, our participants were able to stop by our prize table to collect some well-earned rewards. Pizza awaited our astronauts as they were able to celebrate with their friends as well as their parents before going home for a deserved break! Thanks to PIZZA PRESIDENTE!

Coach Tiffany said “It was cool to see so many girls out there. They were so polite and worked together so well. Zia and Mia became fast friends from the start. I’m excited to help in future Girl’s Golf events!”

Special thanks to Coach Tiffany, Andrea, Li An, Varnika, and Ysabelle! Thank you for making this event so memorable for our participants!

Next Girls Golf Event will be August 23, 2025. For more information about these events, visit our Our Opportunities page or contact Manny Gallardo – [email protected].

(FTSV Team Stableford Tournament)On May 31^st at Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course, 22 players played in a Team Stableford format. This format focuses on earning points for your score. On each hole teams get 1 point for making triple bogey, and all the way up to 6 points for scoring an eagle.

While every seasonal tournament is played in a different, sometimes fun and wacky format, the Stableford format was a new to many FTSV participants. Participants can score lots of points on each hole so one bad hole won’t take you out of the game.

These tournaments are always a blast, and a great way to let participants refine their golf skills and their life skills. Teamwork, perseverance, and goal setting are all needed to excel in this format. Additionally, these tournaments give participants the opportunity to apply their weekly class lessons in a competitive environment without direct coaching.

Team Stableford Tournament

These 22 players, ages 11 to 17, teamed up to earn the best score possible, with two chances at individual awards along the way – a Closest to the Pin contest on hole 1 and a Long Drive contest on hole 4.

Stableford Tournament Winners

On hole 1, James took the age 11-13 individual prize with a beautiful shot hit to 6’9”. Great job, James!

On hole 4, Arjun hit the longest drive in the 11-13 age group, and Diego did so in the 14-17 age group. Great drives, guys!

Many teams scored well and earned plenty of Stableford points. Congratulations everyone!

Third Place: Ade, Arjun and Antonio – scored 28 points.

Second Place: Allen, Riley and Diego – scored 32 points.

First Place: James, Siwat, Asher, and Ella – scored 33 points.

After 9 holes on a hot day at Rancho, everyone deserved recognition for staying in the game and being great teammates to one another. Thank you to everyone who came out to play, and to all our staff and volunteers for helping run a successful event.

To the parents, your continued dedication, week after week, bringing your children to our events and classes means the world to us. And to our amazing participants, we are inspired by the growth you’ve already shown and are excited to watch you continue to thrive. We look forward to seeing each of you in our upcoming seasons!

Special thanks to Pizza Presidente for the Lunch Donation!
