Winter at The First Tee of the Sandhills

Winter at The First Tee of the Sandhills can feel like an eternity, as our formal ‘off season’ from curriculum programs runs November through February. It’s our goal to find fun, unique ways to keep existing participants engaged and connected while encouraging new families to check out our programs and meet our volunteers. We’ve decided to combine some of our favorite things – golf, bright lights, and food – into one fun night for kids. On Friday, December 9th we’re hosting our first Glow Ball Night Event at Pinehurst No. 8. The fun and games are open to all youth age 5 to 18. Past participation in The First Tee is not a requirement. While some golf experience is encouraged! Just imagine Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory converted into a glowing masterpiece and you get Night Golf. Participants will have their chance play a four-hole glow golf putting course, a cosmic chipping challenge on Hole 16 green and a glow ball up and down contest by Hole 18 green. Hot cocoa and hand warmers will keep everyone warm during the outdoor games while pizza and prizes will provide refuel indoors. Friendly competition will ensue, by age group, with winners taking home glow-tastic prizes! There will be a staggered start for participants based on age. Five and six year olds start first at 5:15pm and teenagers, last, at 7:30pm. Cost to participate is $10 per child.
