Dear First Tee Families,

 

Noyes Park continues to be a destination for families throughout Southeastern Wisconsin for junior golf programs. With a student retention rate of over 80%, and continual growth in specific programming, TFTMC continues to be a leader in junior golf programming.

 

One of the areas of growth that has been a staple in our programs is the Girls Only program. We have added a Girls Only Par program to the schedule to target the older more experienced player. TFTMC is growing right along with our participants, and is now offering High School clinics. These lessons will be offered to current high school golfers and incoming freshman. We will not only be focused on their swings, but also playing with the correct equipment and being fashion forward. Along with the addition of these two new programs, we have added one day to each of the series of lessons.

 

2012 will mark the second year of the Heroes for Kids Pro-Am, previously known as the Backyard Bash. In the first year of the event, we raised over $220,000 in cash and in-kind contributions. The money was split between numerous charities including The First Tee of Milwaukee County Wounded Warrior Project, Birdies for the Brave, Folds of Honor Foundation, and Veteran Shield. For 2012, our goal is to double the amount of money raised for the charities.   This year the event will be open to spectators! For more information please visit the website, www.Heroes-for-Kids.com.

 

There is always a great deal of anticipation and expectation with the start of every season. I feel this more than ever this year than any other. I am thankful for having a great summer staff, and strong group representing The First Tee of Milwaukee County.

 

Best wishes,

 

 

Courtney A. Buchach
