Finding His Swing at First Tee – Sandhills
Christian first joined First Tee – Sandhills to learn more about the game of golf, and of course, to have fun while doing it! From the start, he’s embraced the program with positivity and curiosity. He especially loves being outside, learning how to play with confidence, and showing good sportsmanship every step of the way. For Christian, golf isn’t just about making great shots…it’s about playing with character.
A Fan of the Pros
A true golf fan, Christian says one of his favorite memories so far has been attending the U.S. Open last year. Getting to see professional golfers up close was a major highlight and has only fueled his love for the game even more.
Words of Wisdom for New Participants
Christian’s advice to new First Tee kids? “You’ll make lots of friends and get to cheer them on while having fun outside!” His words reflect the exact spirit we see from him at every class—supportive, inclusive, and full of joy.
Life Beyond the Golf Course
Off the course, Christian stays just as active. He loves playing hockey and spending time with his two sisters, ages 12 and 6. He’s also an animal lover with a whole crew of pets at home, including a turtle, chickens, and a rabbit! Whether he’s exploring the outdoors or caring for his animals, Christian brings the same sense of curiosity and kindness to everything he does.
A Role Model in the Making
Christian’s energy, kindness, and team spirit have made a lasting impression on his coaches and peers alike. He shows up ready to learn, eager to grow, and always willing to lend a cheer or a helping hand. It’s kids like Christian who make First Tee so special.
We are proud to have Christian as part of our First Tee – Sandhills family and can’t wait to see where his journey takes him, both on and off the course!
