April 11, 2024 | Participant Spotlight
Two of our program participants, who also belong to our Teen Advisory Council and serve as volunteer coaches, got a special treat this week thanks to a long-time supporter. Aubrey and Kelly took their first trip to Augusta National on Monday. The sisters visited the practice range, shopped, ate amazing food, walked about 8 miles, and had an opportunity to follow Rickie Fowler for a while…
“My favorite part was seeing golfers in person that I grew up watching on TV. I knew I wanted to see the famous bridges on the 12th hole, and getting to see players like Rickie Fowler cross it was really special.”
– Kelly, First Tee Program Participant

Masters Monday was made even more memorable because it coincided with the eclipse. Aubrey and Kelly received commemorative glasses to take home. Their keepsake is one-of-a-kind considering this is the first time the Masters has been impacted by an eclipse since 1940.
“Seeing the course in real life was even more beautiful than it looks on tv. It was so perfect it almost didn’t seem real.“
– Aubrey, First Tee Program Participant
These memories will last a lifetime, and we are so glad that Kelly and Aubrey could take part in such a special occasion!
