First Tee – Silicon Valley hosted our Winter Pre-Season Girls Golf Play Day on November 11th, 2023, at Rancho Del Pueblo. The theme of the event was Autumn Fun.
20 of FTSV’s youth participants had “fall fun” enjoying games on the practice areas while meeting new friends. The fall event allowed our girls to build confidence by interacting with their grade peers as well as meeting some of our Ace participants who were in attendance as mentors.
On the green, Coach Gracie challenged the participants to compete in a fall-themed version of tic-tac-toe by chipping golf balls to score 3 in a row. The girls were tasked in marking their progress with toy corn-on-the-cobs.
On the range, the girls were given a lesson on the full swing by some of our golfers who either progressed to our Ace classes or are currently starting for their local high school team. Special thanks to Coaches Vian, Elise, Jennifer, Li An, and Natalie!
The event concluded with enjoying snacks, playing fall-themed games, and creating a collage dedicated to Coach Colleen, who is a First Tee master level coach, for all of her support. We hope this experience of building new friends, meeting our Ace participants, and practicing golf together was memorable for our female participants. We’re confident our participants will utilize the life skills they learned from this event.
We are always thrilled to have our Girls Golf event, and want to say thank you to all the participants for making it such a success. Everyone made sure to create an inclusive, supportive and respectful atmosphere where all felt comfortable to learn and try new things.
