I love golf, so of course I wanted to sign up to play 36 holes! But that's not the reason I'm so excited to play in the First Tee of Idaho Golf Marathon.

Of course I'm excited to play golf all day long.  What really excites me is being able to make a difference in a child's life. I get such a high off of helping others and when I heard about the First Tee of Idaho Golf Marathon I wanted to be a part of it. They didn't ask me, I asked them to let me in.

Matthew and Johnathan are just two kids who benefit from The First Tee of Idaho.

A single Mom raising four children and working part time would love to have her children involved in an activity to keep them occupied and away from the electronic world. She had never heard of The First Tee of Idaho until coaches from The First Tee visited her youngest son’s physical education class at school. From that introduction to the game, her two sons decided they wanted to learn how to play golf. Mom, knowing it would be a financial hardship, reached out to The First Tee of Idaho for help. Matthew and Jonathan were given full scholarships to attend programming offered by The First Tee of Idaho. They are still involved in the program and have learned to transfer the life skills they have been taught in their classes to school, their home, and to their relationships with their friends.

You may not love golf like I do, you may not even like it, but you can't deny what a great thing First Tee of Idaho is doing for the youth in our community. Instead of complaining about how awful kids are today, let's be part of the solution and give them a real chance to succeed.

I've got an offer for you: I'll donate my time and play 36 holes of golf in one day and you can sponsor me at either $1/hole or $2 hole. Your donation is tax deductible and stays right here in Idaho. Help out your son's classmate, the girl down the street or even the kid who has completely given up and doesn't think he has a chance.

Thank you in advance for donating!
