On March 26, teams from 17 Charleston Area elementary schools traveled to Wescott Golf Club to compete in Champions Cup, our annual Golf & Life Skills tournament. This year’s event was generously sponsored by the Henry & Sylvia Yaschik Foundation and Bear the Palm.
Students, who were selected to participate by their PE teachers, demonstrated their knowledge of our Golf & Life Skills Curriculum by competing in 9 golf challenges (such as chipping a ball into the mouth of a larger-than-life-sized inflatable hippo) and 9 Core Value challenges.
All teams had fun, played well, and exhibited First Tee’s Nine Core Values (respect, courtesy, responsibility, honesty, sportsmanship, confidence, judgment, perseverance, and integrity). They also took home commemorative pullovers from Bear the Palm and fee-waived invitations to participate in additional First Tee programs at seven Charleston Area golf courses.
