April 27, 2026 | Alumni Spotlight | Support Maya’s Golfathon journey!
On May 11, Golfathon-ers will take on the incredible challenge of playing 100 holes of golf in one day at Legend Oaks Golf Club to raise money and awareness for First Tee – Greater Charleston programs. Among them will be all-star alum Maya Timmons, who is eager to tackle her FIFTH 100 Hole Golfathon.
“It’s so fun to play the courses I grew up playing with First Tee. I love giving back and helping the kids so [Golfathon] is a no brainer! I’m looking forward to our costume and cart theme this year and bringing more friends to the event to help fundraise.”
– Maya Timmons, First Tee Alum
Maya prefers to play 100 holes in crocs, as seen with First Tee – Greater Charleston CEO (and Maya’s former coach) Bucky Dudley in 2023 and 2024.
After 12 years in our On-Course Golf & Life Skills Program, Maya understands first-hand how the game of golf builds confidence and character. She also witnessed youth growing through the game as a summer coach for our Pathfinder Immersion Program back in 2024, mentoring young people who received free equipment, bus rides, and rounds of golf thanks in part to Maya’s Golfathon fundraising efforts. Maya will return to our Pathfinder coaching staff this summer after graduating from Valdosta State University, and we hope you will help us celebrate the amazing impact that Maya has and will continue to make in the Charleston community by supporting her Golfathon journey with a personal gift or per hole pledge.
Maya and friends were all smiles at the 2025 100 Hole Golfathon in spite of the occasional downpour.
