My name is Lydia Johnson, and I have been a participant of the First Tee for 7 years. What I like about golf is that it doesn’t matter if you are athletic or strong, anyone can play golf. I plan on going to NC State and doing golf throughout high school.

This year, 40 of our First Tee - Triangle participants will be playing in our annual Kid-Am Tournament. Similar to a Pro-Am but unlike your traditional golf tournament, this event will partner each foursome with one of our very own standout participants! Not only does golf play a role in their participation, so does fundraising. We are asking our participants to fundraise to cover the cost of their playing and any extra money raised will go directly towards the First Tee's mission of providing character education to local youth through the game of golf.
