The First Tee Training Camp at Hank Haney IJGA

By Ryley HendryMonday June 7th, 2010 2:30 pm EDT

Last week was a great week at Hank Haney IJGA.  We had 29 students from all over the U.S, representing several of the 700 First Tee Chapters.  

We began the week with a welcome dinner and key note speakers Joe Louis Barrow (CEO of The First Tee) and Hank Haney.  Then the players received three days of training with Hank Haney Certified instructors, lead by 2005 PGA National Teacher of the Year, Peter Krause (Director of Instruction at Hank Haney IJGA). The students had a 9-hole match and BBQ to close their week of training.

A special happy birthday to Daulet - the students enjoyed singing to you and the birthday cake was fantastic!

Thank you to The First Tee staff - Dedric Holmes, Ryan Graff, Beth Brown, Laura Orlen and Eric Clark for all their hard work. 

Best of luck to all of The First Tee participants!  What a great week and start to the summer!
