On Board with The First Tee

       Recently, I was fortunate enough to join the board of The First Tee of Greater Philadelphia. I was introduced to The First Tee program a few years back when I was invited to play in an event at Walnut Lane Golf Club by Frank Shuman. Frank is the former owner of Philadelphia Turf Company and is a big supporter and board member of TFT of Greater Philadelphia. He has been generous enough to invite me to multiple First Tee events and was kind enough to nominate me.
       So what does an equipment salesman with a golf game that rarely breaks 100 anymore bring to the table?(Just for the record, pre-kids I could shoot in the 80's!). Hopefully, we will be able to do some things from the maintenance side that will continue to help, the program grow. What is really exciting is that I was already contacted by a friend, who just happens to be a customer, about working with TFT of Greater Philadelphia to host a first of it's kind event later in 2014. We also have some other ideas from the Turf angle that are really exciting.
      With all the talk about growing the game of golf, how better than to get more kids into golf?
