First Tee-Phoenix

We recently finished up the First Tee Leadership Series in partnership with PGA TOUR Superstore in Chandler and Scottsdale (Shea Blvd.) store! This is an engaging and empowering five-week series designed to provide teens the opportunity to (1) build relationships with local PGA TOUR Superstore leadership, (2) uncover their leadership values and strengths, (3) identify potential careers based on those findings, and (4) develop goals on how to attain their desired career path. During the final in person week, we had career presentations, a putting contest, and a closest to the pin contest! The series culminated with a Zoom Town Hall with special guest speakers. Special thank you to Chris DeNeice (GM @ Chandler Store) & Terry Donaho (GM @ Scottsdale Store) for facilitating this leadership series!! #firstteephoenix #firsttee #leadership #chandler #scottsdale #juniorgolfers #buildinggamechangers #azgolf
