DCP Alum Rock Golf Team Attend LPGA Mediheal Championship
On Sunday, April 29th Coach Alan and his DCP Alum Rock golfstars, who also take class at The First Tee of Silicon Valley, attended the LPGA Mediheal Championship at Lake Merced Golf Club. For Coach Alan and his golfers this was the first time they had seen professional golf in action and the experience was chalked full of teachable moments.
Watching these elite golfers served as reminder that even pros still embrace the concepts of sportsmanship, judgment, perseverance, along with courtesy. Coach Alan was very pleased to see his golfstars pick up on these lessons being played out in front of them during the tournament. One of their favorite moments throughout the day was watching the golfers and caddies talk over their current shot and what strategies they would employ. This was a living example of judgment being played out.
Alex enjoyed the tournament for how it showed him the numerous career options that are associated to the game of golf. He saw that he didn’t necessarily have to be a professional golfer to work in a tournament. He could become a caddie, a marshall, a scorekeeper, and even a greenskeeper. All of these positions are integral to golf tournaments happening.
It was a great experience to see these top golfers compete against each other in a respectful way.
Coach Alan and his golfers look forward to enjoying other local professional tournaments and classes at The First Tee of Silicon Valley in the near future.
