Also at todays outings, to show the connection to the youth that the first tee has, kids where making drives and putts for participants as well as fixing ball marks, and welcoming guests.

“Just about being at the golf course for the kids who have this opportunity, golf is really a gift for a lot of people, it leads to so many opportunities for people, so to give that opportunity to kids that might not be able to go to the golf course,” said Kenn Hruska, First Tee Northern Michigan branch area director.

Another fun aspect at today’s outing was the Northern Michigan branch mascote, golf-a-potamos. Participants had the opportunity to chip a ball into its mouth to be put into a raffle for prizes.
