Thanks to generous community support, we were able to purchase a bus last month! This is our second vehicle and will play a critical role in getting kids to various enrichment activities.
Two vehicles will satisfy the transportation needs of our growing Game Changers Immersion Program, allowing more students to visit local businesses, college campuses, and golf courses Monday-Friday each summer and on Saturdays during the school year. A bus will also open doors for new partnerships with CCSD schools, equipping us to to transport up to five school groups to On-Course Golf & Life Skills classes this fall.
Additional vehicles or transportation partners will be needed as our Immersion Program grows. Want to help? Consider a monthly gift or email Bucky to learn more about how you can get involved.
Summer is an exciting season for First Tee – Greater Charleston! When the school year ends, we’re able to reach hundreds of kids through community partner organizations, and we host a full-day, Monday-Friday camp for our Game Changers Immersion Program participants. This is in addition to summer Core Golf & Life Skills classes at six course locations. Needless to say, we need all the help we can get… which is why we are very excited and exceedingly grateful to introduce our 2023 team of summer interns!

The Rolex Girls Junior Championship is returning to the Golf Club at Briar’s Creek Monday, June 19, and this year’s event will feature a Junior-Am Fundraising Tournament benefitting First Tee – Greater Charleston.
Annually, this championship attracts the best up-and-coming golfers (ages 12-19) in the nation, most of whom will go on to play Division 1 collegiate golf and potentially the LPGA Tour. The charity event presents an amazing play opportunity for any golfer—young women in particular.
Thanks to a generous gift, one of our program participants, Alice Li, was able to play the Junior-Am Fundraising Tournament when it was last at Briar’s Creek.
“The event showed me how serious I could be about golf, and it pushed me to pursue a role in my high school golf team. It also helped get me into bigger golf tournaments, like SCJGA and PKBGT… I wish others knew that you don’t have to be super good at golf to play in the Charity AM. When I played, I’m pretty sure my nine-hole average was in the 50s. It was really just a super fun experience to go out and play some tournament golf.”
– Alice Li, First Tee – Greater Charleston Program Participant
Alice brought home more than happy memories from the event. She also won a charity event contest, and her prize was a 60 degree wedge, a keepsake that she still loves and uses today.
Register to Play or Sponsor a Team
Register to play or give our program participants a chance to play with future LPGA stars by sponsoring a team. The cost is $500 per girl or $1500 per team. First Tee teams will feature three of our program participants paired with an aspiring pro.
On May 22, Friends of First Tee – Greater Charleston will take on the incredible challenge of playing 100 holes of golf in one day at Wescott Golf Club. That’s a lot of golf! And while some might suggest that it’s too much golf, we promise it is for a good cause.
The 100 Hole Golfathon, formerly known as the 100 Hole Hike, got its start in 2019. To date, this fundraiser has sponsored 5,000+ FREE rounds of golf through our Swing it Forward program, 400+ rides to local golf courses and enrichment activities, and 1,200+ scholarships for on-course Golf & Life Skills classes. None of that would be possible without committed Golfathon-ers and the generous friends, family members, and colleagues who support them with pledges.
Meet Our First Tee Alumni Golfathon-ers
In the spirit of friendly competition, we’ve recruited two First Tee – Greater Charleston alumni to face off with board members, YAC members, PGA club professionals, and other seasoned golfers in the Charleston community.
Maya Timmons
Maya is a First Tee alum who participated in our Golf & Life Skills program for 12 years. She attended Ashley Ridge High School, certified Ace at First Tee in 2015, graduated high school 2017, attends Western Governors University, and works at Topgolf. She graciously volunteered to cheer on our teams at the 2022 100 Hole Golfathon. This will be her second year attending and first year captaining a team!
“I’m really excited about playing in the 100 Hole Golfathon… I wish more people knew about it so that we could get a bigger crowd of people fundraising for our kids! I also wish that people knew playing 100 holes isn’t as daunting as they may believe. Last year’s event was extremely fun!”
– Maya Timmons, First Tee – Greater Charleston Alum
Kyle Myers
Kyle is a First Tee alum with more than 10 years Golf & Life Skills experience. He attended Fort Dorchester High School (where he played on the golf team), certified Ace at First Tee in 2015, and graduated high school in 2016. He now coaches First Tee classes at Pine Forest Country Club in Summerville.
“I’m overjoyed to participate in the 100 Hole Golfathon, especially with it being hosted at my old stomping grounds, Wescott Golf Course. I am looking forward to some good shots and great memories while raising money and awareness for First Tee, an organization that I spent over a decade of taking golf classes from and now get the privilege of coaching classes of my own. First Tee provides a safe, positive and instructional environment to teach golf and life skills that can be used on and off the course. I can’t wait to tee off the first hole and make the most out of this great opportunity!”
– Kyle Myers, First Tee – Greater Charleston Alum
Help Maya & Kyle Keep Kids On Course
Maya, Kyle, and their teammates will battle it out for Golfathon bragging rights in the following categories:
Most funds raised
Most donor support (number of donors)
They will be out at Wescott Golf Club from sun-up to sun-down, walking, running, and riding 20+ miles—taking hundreds of swings along the way. We’re confident that they have what it takes to stay the course, but it’s going to be a long day. Support from you will keep them going, and it will also help us keep kids on course throughout the year!
All per hole pledges and flat-rate donations welcome, and they add up to accomplish big things like scholarships for On Course Programming, and free rides to the golf course.
Visit our PledgeIt page to see fundraising progress, and tune into our Instagram and Facebook feeds on May 22 for day-of-play coverage.
Charleston Area elementary school students traveled to Wescott Golf Club on March 29th to compete in the First Tee – Greater Charleston Champions Cup tournament. Each team, led by their PE teacher, tackled 9 golf challenges and 9 core value challenges to demonstrate all they have learned as part of our In-School Golf & Life Skills Program.
Volunteers from the Lucy Beckham Golf Team kept tournament participants on track and having fun.
This year’s tournament featured players from Charleston Development Academy, Chicora Elementary School, James B. Edwards Elementary School, Julian Mitchell Elementary School, Lambs Elementary School, Marrington Elementary School, Montessori Community School, Oakland Elementary School, Orange Grove Charter School, Sanders Clyde Elementary School, and St. John’s Catholic School.
Students enjoyed putting, chipping into our inflatable hippo, driving, and sling-shotting SNAG balls angry bird style. They even had an opportunity to learn about golf course design from course architect Troy Miller.
Students from Charleston Development Academy enjoy “Pin the Hazard on the Dogleg” with course architect Troy Miller.
Teams demonstrated a firm grasp of the interpersonal and intrapersonal skills they’ve been learning about in their PE classes by answering questions about honesty, integrity, courtesy, confidence, judgment, perseverance, respect, responsibility, and sportsmanship. These core value questions factored into each team’s point total.
We are extremely proud of all 2023 tournament participants, including Orange Grove Charter School, Sanders Clyde Elementary, and Marrington Elementary who placed first, second, and third. Our champions will be recognized at a special awards ceremony where they will receive sets of clubs.
Coach Jackson high fives a student (Chicora Elementary), and our 2023 champions (Orange Grove Charter School) pose with their trophy.
The Champions Cup tournament is an annual event, sponsored by First Tee and the Henry & Sylvia Yaschik Foundation, to celebrate school program participation. To maintain COVID safety protocols, we hosted virtual tournaments in 2021 and 2022 where students participated in golf and core value challenges remotely from their schools. While those events were well attended, we’ve missed the magic of a green grass venue. Many of the students who participate in Champions Cup have never visited or played a golf course before. As such, it was all the sweeter to gather in person this year at Wescott… a uniquely special event for kids, coaches, volunteers, and spectators alike.
Thank you to the dedicated Physical Educators who administer First Tee curriculum and go the extra mile to train kids for this event. Thanks also to the MANY volunteers who make Champions Cup possible year after year. We look forward to seeing you all again in 2024!
Mr. Chris Pinckney pictured with wife Beatrice, granddaughter Megan, and great-grandson Teagan.
February 22, 2023 | Local Spotlight
Mr. Chris Pinckney could be described as a “usual suspect” at the Charleston Municipal Golf Course. In fact, Charleston City Paper wrote an article on the subject in 2021 to celebrate renovations to the beloved course. In that article, we learned that Mr. Pinckney has been playing the Muni’s citywide amateur golf tournament since 1962. He even won the city title in ’79 and ’83. The now 79 year-old James Island native still plays the course two or three times a week, a freedom that he hasn’t always enjoyed.
As a youth (13 or 14) in the late 50s, Mr. Pinckney worked as a caddy for the Muni. He wasn’t allowed to play the course until 1961, when it became the first in South Carolina (public or private) to successfully integrate.
As an organization that exists to promote access to golf and all the intrinsic and extrinsic opportunities that go along with it, we found ourselves wondering… How does a young man without course access learn to play (and learn to play extremely well)?
We decided to give Mr. Pinckney a call to find out.
Mr. Pinckney told us that he was one of the first black golfers to play the Muni in 1961. He was 17 or 18 at the time and had already learned a great deal about the game as a caddy and from his older brother, Irvin Pinckney. The Pinckney family lived on a plot of land off Riverland Dr that had been purchased by Chris and Irvin’s grandfather. Irvin made a few golf holes on the property, and Chris recalls school friends stopping by to play. The boys also sharpened their game at the Little Rock Club on Grimball Road, a homemade 6-hole course designed by Richard “Lunk” Smalls in the 1950s. That course and military bases would have been the only facilities open to black golfers in South Carolina prior to integration of the Muni. Mr. Pinckney would eventually gain access to base courses when he went to work as a welder and machinist, first for the Naval shipyard and then the Air Force Base.
Competitive Play Inspires Port City Golf Club
Fast forward to 1961. Mr. Pinckney is an adept golfer with ambitions of competitive play, but tournament entry presented yet another stumbling block. “[In the 60s] these guys could play the course, but they couldn’t get a handicap because our course isn’t a club…” says Marshall Ormand, Charleston Municipal Golf Course Manager. “That’s why they [Mr. Pinckney, Johnny Middleton, and a few others] started the Port City Club. When that didn’t work, they started the Port City Classic Golf Tournament. It’s an incredible story.”
“Golf has been really, really good to me. It keeps my mind sharp… And the Muni has been good to me. It’s allowed me to qualify for tournaments all over.”
– Chris Pinckney
Mr. Pinckney has competed in a variety of public links tournaments. He’s traveled to Florida, Maine, Arizona, and Hawaii to play. In Phoenix, he finished 4th in the nation.
Mr. Pinckney’s bride, Beatrice, accompanied him to tournaments in Florida and Hawaii. She has fond memories of annual trips to North Carolina where the couple made lifelong friends… “Golf opens doors… You meet a lot of nice people on the golf course,” she says.
Golf seems to be keeping Mr. Pinckney young, a good thing now that he has grandchildren and one great grand to enjoy. He looks forward to teaching his great grandson to play one day, and Mr. Pinckney’s granddaughter, Megan Pinckney Rutherford (who also happens to be Miss South Carolina USA 2013) is eager for her son to carry on her grandfather’s legacy…
“His is a story of grit and determination and deserves telling. Can you imagine loving something so much, and being told that you can’t be a part of it because of the color of your skin, but then going on to be successful at it anyways? Growing up we all knew how much the sport meant to him; he spent most of his free time on the golf course… but it wasn’t until I was older that I could understand why. He had been denied access to that course so, in a way, it was like he was making up for lost time.”
– Megan Pinckney Rutherford
Mr. Pinckney Meets Our Game Changers
Earlier this month, Mr. Pinckney, Mrs. Pinckney, and Megan met our Game Changers at Topgolf. We talked about what it means to persevere, and the kids asked Mr. Pinckney about tournaments, traveling, and his shoe size (for the record, he wears a 12). We also discovered that Mr. and Mrs. Pinckney attended Gretchen Meggett High School where they were taught by Coach Johnson’s grandmother.
Mr. Pinckney can still drive a ball over 200 yards, and the kids were eager to watch.
When asked if he had any advice for young golfers, Mr. Pinckney said, “You just got to get out there and do it.”
We hope our young people will take that advice to heart—on and off the golf course. When life is hard, when others doubt, when a system is unfair… We hope they will remember Mr. Pinckney, who, despite incredible odds, became one of Charleston’s greatest golfers.
We’re gearing up for a new season of Immersion Program enrichment activities, and if fall was any indication, spring is going to be fun!
Game Changers Immersion Program participants meet Monday-Friday over the summer, and once a week (usually on Saturdays) throughout the school year. This past fall, weekly meetups alternated between of golf outings, enrichment presentations, and fieldtrips.
Our Game Changers routinely visited Wescott Plantation, where they worked with Coach Johnson and Coach Perry to improve their golf game. They also spent a few afternoons at Stono Ferry getting pointers from Coach K, Coach JP, and the College of Charleston Men’s Golf Team.
“Being a part of the Game Changers program was thoroughly enjoyable. Due to our students’ busy schedules, interaction with members of our local community doesn’t happen as often as we would like. To share their love of golf with the young men and women of Game Changers allowed our team to work together and hone their path towards becoming community leaders. It was not long ago that students in our program would have been part of programs like the Game Changers. To be able to share their skills and passion was exciting and humbling.”
– Mitch Krywulycz, Head Golf Coach | College of Charleston
Aside from golf, Game Changers enjoyed a photography lesson by YoArt at the Cigar Factory (complete with photo scavenger hunt) and the Epic Gameshow Experience at Elite Games.
Educational enrichment included a tour of the Charleston Southern University campus with Associate Athletic Director Betty Palmer and a presentation by Officer Michael Rice and Amanda Perry, Esq. The presentation was a continuation of a mock trial activity that took place last summer.
“I had an opportunity to work with [the Game Changers] last summer during a mock trial program. I was thoroughly impressed by their willingness to get involved, ask thoughtful questions and really put in the work that was necessary to make the mock trial a success. Last fall, I had the privilege to assist Officer Rice and Coach Johnson with an educational presentation… The kids asked poignant questions that were applicable to their lives, and hopefully they will carry this information with them into the future. I was honored to be a part of this program because these children are leaders of tomorrow.”
– Amanda Perry, Esq.
The presentation featured law enforcement scenarios constructed by Officer Rice, and Amanda gave examples of legal action that may result from each of the scenarios. Our Game Changers were certainly engaged. We may have a few future attorneys and officers on our hands!
“I wanted these young men and women to leave with a better understanding of policing with an emphasis on why we do what we do. The overall goal for me is to bridge the gap of understanding between law enforcement and the communities we serve, and that effort starts with our youth… The Game Changers were engaged in topics and discussion and were eager to ask questions regarding my career. Not every day a child gets the opportunity to ask numerous questions to a police officer. I was happy to provide them with that opportunity.”
– Officer Rice, Mount Pleasant Police Department
Our Game Changers ended the season with a carefree afternoon at SkyZone—complete with lunch, ice cream, and surprise holiday gifts from our Teen Advisory Council.
“All activities from the start of the Fall to the last fieldtrip before winter break have been very informative and enjoyable for the Game Changers. It has allowed them the opportunity to sharpen their golf games on the golf course as well as learn real life skills from a variety of enrichment speakers. …And our Teen Advisory Council did an awesome job selecting different Christmas gifts for the Game Changers. They were very thankful!”
– Coach Lerone Johnson, Director of Special Programs | First Tee – Greater Charleston

We recently interviewed 10 year-old program participant Florence to learn more about her move from Washington DC and what she loves most about First Tee. Here’s what she had to say…
How long have you been involved with First Tee?
Florence: I’ve been playing golf my whole life. I’ve had little kits since I was one or two, but I’ve been playing with the First Tee for about four or five years.
So you started with First Tee in DC before coming to Charleston?
Florence:Yes.
That’s quite a move! How did it make you feel?
Florence:It was a really big move, and I didn’t like it at first.
What do you like most about First Tee?
Florence: What I like most about First Tee is that they don’t just teach you how to play good golf; they teach you proper manners and how to act in situations.
Is First Tee – Greater Charleston different than First Tee – Greater Washington?
Florence: The accents are different… [At this point Florence delighted us with her best impression of a Southern accent, which we unfortunately did not catch on camera.]
Coach Charlie and Coach Chuck tell me that you’re a great golfer! How does that make you feel?
Florence: If someone says that I’m a good golfer, it makes me feel really proud because I’ve worked hard all of my life to achieve that.
First Tee focuses on some important core values (honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment)… Can you think of a time when one of those values helped you accomplish a goal?
Florence: I recently went to the CJ Cup with my dad and his friend, Mr. Russ. I used respect by being the only one asking for just a high five instead of asking for things.
That’s awesome! I’m sure you impressed the pros..
Florence: Ooh! I got several people’s signatures there! …Shane Lowry, Collin Marikawa, and Rory McIlroy (aka the world’s best golfer).
Aside from golf, what do you like to do and/or who do you like to spend time with?
Florence: Aside from golf, I really like to spend time with my dog and to horse ride, but we’re having trouble finding a pony for me to ride down here. …But we are going to a hunt club this weekend, and I’ll get to ride there!
Do you think you’ll keep playing golf?
Florence: I think I’ll continue to play golf because it’s a great way to spend time outside and get fresh air.
At First Tee – Greater Charleston, we’re teaching more than golf. We want to help kids build confidence and resilience that are applicable to all aspects of life. Email [email protected] to learn more about ways to get involved.
Program Update January 1, 2024: The Game Changers Immersion Program is now called Pathfinder Immersion Program. Learn more about the switch and our vision for Pathfinders here.
Charleston, SC–First Tee – Greater Charleston (FTGC) stepped into the national spotlight at First Tee Network Summit in Dallas, Texas last month as a recipient of the Barbara A. Douglas and Dr. William J. Powell Diversity Award. The award, presented by First Tee Headquarters (St. Augustine, FL) and The Toro Company (Bloomington, MN), recognizes outstanding leadership and commitment to promote ethnic diversity within local golf communities and the First Tee Network at large. Out of 150+ First Tee chapters, FTGC was one of two to receive this honor.
The Diversity Award is a relatively new addition to Network Summit, a bi-annual meeting of representatives from First Tee chapters around the world. It is named for Barbara A. Douglas, the first minority chairman of the United States Golf Association, and Dr. William J Powell, the first and only African American to design, build, own and operate his own golf course (Clearview Golf Club).
FTGC was nominated for the award based on geographic and financial accessibility of programming. The local 501(c)3 offers golf and life skills curriculum at 8 courses and 35 schools, 60% of which are Title I. 97% of children served receive programming free of charge. Additionally, FTGC impressed the award selection committee by pioneering a new immersion program for middle and high school students that includes STEAM curriculum, transportation, and meals in addition to golf instruction.
Staff members and stakeholders are floored by the award, but Executive Director Bucky Dudley says the work is just beginning…
“The Barbara A. Douglas and Dr. William J. Powell Diversity Award is a uniquely special honor. It’s wonderful to receive validation that we are on the right track, but the work doesn’t end here. Inclusion is not a destination. It’s a journey, and the way is paved with persistent invitations.”
Established in 2008, First Tee – Greater Charleston serves young people, ages 5-18, from all walks of life. The chapter offers on-course, in-school, and community programs to teach life skills through the game of golf to more than 17,000 children each year in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties.

Coach Johnson recently spoke with Golf Today hosts Matt Adams and Damon Hack about the USGA IDEA Grant and how we’re using that funding to expand our Game Changers Immersion Program. The interview, which aired live November 1st, shed some light on what it’s like to expose young people to enrichment opportunities on the golf course and beyond.

October 27, 2022 | Participant Spotlight
First Tee Game Changers Isaiah and Josiah Myers attended Port City Golf Club’s Fall Classic Amateur Golf Tournament at Charleston Municipal Golf Course on Saturday, October 22nd. Accompanied by mentor and friend Eduardo Curry Jr., the brothers played 9 holes in a competitive youth event ahead of adult participants.
Isaiah (age 12) started strong, hitting well off of the tee box on the first hole and putting skillfully on the green. Josiah (age 13) got off to a slower start, but as the day heated up so did his game. We’re proud to have both of these fine young men representing us in the community!
When asked how they liked participating in the tournament, Isaiah and Josiah expressed sincere appreciation for the chance to play. Thank you to Macio Jacobs Sr., President of Port City Golf Club for providing the opportunity and to Eduardo for accompanying!
Eduardo is a mentor and School Engagement Program Manager for Charleston Promise Neighborhood, a local nonprofit working to improve academic, health, and social outcomes for underserved youth. Visit charlestonpromise.org to learn more. He also serves on a nominations task force for our Game Changers Immersion Program.
Isaiah and Josiah are both second-year Game Changers, and they are part of our original immersion program class (Class of 2028). They meet with First Tee coaches Monday-Friday each summer and on Saturdays during the school year for on-course instruction and off-course enrichment activities.
We add a new class of Game Changers each summer (rising 6th graders), and we intend to offer year-round support to all immersion program participants through high school graduation. Email [email protected] to learn more about ways to get involved!
The Congaree Golf Club is hosting the CJ Cup October 20-23, and Golf Today is shining some well-deserved light on their philanthropic mission, the Congaree Global Golf Initiative (CGGI). The above interview features CGGI and First Tee – Greater Charleston alumna Kharynton Beggs.
In the interview, Khraynton shares personal struggles with doubt in the wake of her father’s passing (2016) and a taxing back injury. A gifted golfer, Kharynton was nearly ready to give up on competitive play her junior year of high school, but with CGGI and First Tee support, she was able to get back in the game. She now plays at Oglethorpe University and describes the experience as “life-changing.”
Kharynton represented First Tee – Greater Charleston in the 2018 PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach. When Golf Today hosts praised her for a challenging par 3 on the 17th hole, she offered this advice… “Don’t underestimate the wind.”
The First Tee Family is SO PROUD of Kharynton, and we know that she will accomplish great things in the “real world” when she graduates from Oglethorpe next spring!
