If you’ve ever been to a First Tee – Sandhills class and heard laughter mixed with the sound of a solid putt, chances are it came from Giuliana. This bright and energetic participant brings sunshine to every class, and her enthusiasm for both the game and her friends is truly contagious.
Giuliana first joined First Tee eager to learn the fundamentals of golf, but she’s discovered something even more rewarding along the way, friendship and personal growth. “My favorite part is making new friends every week and noticing how I’m getting better with each practice,” she shared with a big smile. And that dedication shows! Each week, her confidence grows, whether she’s refining her putting stroke or encouraging her teammates from across the green.
Giuliana is known for bringing a spark of positivity to everything she does. From the moment she steps onto the course, she’s smiling, encouraging her teammates, and giving every drill her full attention. What makes Giuliana stand out isn’t just her growing golf skills, it’s her heart. She celebrates others’ successes just as much as her own, reminding everyone that golf is about having fun while learning together.
Each week, Giuliana shows up eager to grow, both as a golfer and a person. Her enthusiasm is contagious, her kindness genuine, and her laughter impossible not to smile at. Whether she’s nailing a putt, helping a friend line up their shot, or sharing a funny moment between drills, she embodies everything First Tee stands for: confidence, respect, and joy in the journey.
When asked what advice she’d give to new participants, Giuliana didn’t hesitate:
“Work hard, listen to the instructors, but also remember to have fun.”
Off the course, Giuliana’s creativity shines just as bright. She loves painting, riding her bike, and making friendship bracelets (which she often gifts to her golf friends!). At home, she shares her world with two dogs, Coco and Capone, and her biggest fan, her 5-year-old brother Domenic, who already dreams of joining her on the golf course one day!
Giuliana truly embodies what it means to grow through the game, not just in skill, but in spirit. We’re so proud to have her as part of the First Tee – Sandhills family, and we can’t wait to see where her positivity, hard work, and heart take her next!
