“During the summer of 2021, someone reached out to me and asked me to play golf with her daughter. She was trying to make her high school golf team, so we met regularly to play and practice. I tried to help her and that was my first time giving lessons. I took her to Douglass Park one day to practice, because I knew she would enjoy golf even more if she had the opportunity to play with her peers, like I did growing up. Helping her further sparked my interest in giving back to the game of golf.” In 2021, the First Tee program at Douglass Park had more than 100 participants in both the summer and fall sessions and that number is expected grow this year. “The majority of our participants are brand new to the game and our goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for them,” said Taylor Haudek, site director at Indianapolis at First Tee-Indiana. “And the location at Douglass Park allows us to work with participants within the city that might not have otherwise have the opportunity to learn the game we all love.” For dates and time of the Frist Tee-Indiana’s sessions at Douglass Park visit their website.
