A First Tee Journey That Spans States

Jameson’s golf journey began in St. Louis, where he took his first swings with First Tee. When his family relocated to North Carolina, one of the first things they did was find their local chapter. That’s when Jameson became part of First Tee – Sandhills, continuing his love for golf and growth through the game. At just 10 years old, Jameson is already making waves both on and off the golf course. A fourth-grader with a big heart and an even bigger love for the game, Jameson first discovered First Tee in St. Louis back in 2022. After his family moved to the Sandhills area, he quickly became part of the First Tee – Sandhills family in 2023—and we’ve been lucky to have him ever since!
Putting in the Work at Southern Pines
You can usually find Jameson out at Southern Pines Golf Club, where he’s been sharpening his skills with Coach Riley. Whether it’s practicing his short game or learning life lessons through golf, Jameson shows up with enthusiasm, a willingness to grow, and an energy that’s truly contagious.
More Than Just a Golfer
Off the course, Jameson is just as impressive. He has a creative side and enjoys drawing, has a growing interest in history, and loves spending time with his friends. Whether it’s video games, board games, capture the flag, or epic nerf battles, Jameson brings the same joyful spirit and sportsmanship to everything he does.
A First Tee Family Affair
Jameson doesn’t go on this First Tee journey alone—his younger sister Brooklyn is also part of the program! Together, they’ve turned their shared passion into a fun family connection that makes practices and events even more special.
