FIRST TEE PARTICIPANTS SELECTED TO PLAY IN WALMART FIRST TEE OPEN AT PEBBLE BEACH
Though golf with the pros at Pebble Beach was the goal for many, golf was certainly not how they got to participate in the Walmart First Tee Open Participant Selection Process at the Wentworth By The Sea Country Club last week or would earn their way to Pebble Beach. Thirty-six young women, First Tee participants, ages 14-18 from around the country came to Rye, NH last week based mostly on the strength of the Life Skills and Core Values learned during their participation in The First Tee. Eighteen were rewarded with a trip to California to play in the Walmart First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, a Champion’s Tour event, including the likes of Tom Watson, Fuzzy Zoeller, and NH’s own Kirk Hanefeld.
