This week our 5th grade students had the great honor of participating in The First Tee. On Thursday and Friday morning we loaded up the bus with excited 5th graders and headed over to Carolina Colours golf course. We were greeted by Coach George and the other fantastic coaches. These men give up their time to plant tiny seeds of enthusiasm for the sport of golf. They were not only knowledgable but extremely patient with our students. We were even more fortunate to have our newly adopted Navy squadron send a few of their men to help out as well.
Enjoy the pictures below.
Coach George explaining the different parts of the golf course.
Students practicing their putting skills. At this station the goal was to putt three times and get a ball in each of the three sections.
At this station our students got to use irons to practice their swing in full force. For majority of our students it was the first time ever really hitting a golf ball for long distance.
Thursday was a beautiful day! Our students Friday had a bitter cold day and majority of the stations had to be moved inside. We look forward to our next trip in the Spring.
A BIG BIG thank you to Carolina Coloours for allowing our students from Brinson to experience time at their briar idyl golf course. And thank you to all of the men who volunteered their time over the two days.
Warm ups
