OUR FOCUS

The First Tee, Montgomery County uses golf as platform to teach young people how to be successful on and off the course. Focusing on youth who would not typically have access to the game and its opportunities, The First Tee helps its golfers learn how to use Respect, Perseverance, Honesty, Integrity, Courtesy, Responsibility, Sportsmanship, Confidence and Judgment in school, with adults and with their friends.

“To the world you might be just one person.
But to one person,
You just might be the world.”

Marilyn was a friend, advocate and mentor to the organization. The board of directors and staff cannot think of a better way to honor Marilyn than continue to grow The First Tee so that all the county’s young residents can learn and embrace the core values and enjoyment of golf.
