Volunteer Spotlight: John

Originally from the cold, snowy state of Michigan, John and his wife moved to Pinehurst for the warmer weather and promise of green golf courses. Since his own were little, John has enjoyed coaching and setting good examples for kids at a young age. In 2020, John joined our volunteer team. Since then, his passion for continuance learning has led John through Level II Coach training. And, his love of engineering landed him a key role on our STEM Camp Curriculum team. This spring, you can find Coach John at Pinewild CC on Tuesdays!

“I am really drawn to First Tee’s mission of enabling kids to build character and life skills through the game of golf. Seeing how many kids keep coming back each spring, summer and fall…. seeing them start progressing through the program… they continue to be excited and engaged week after week… it tells me we are doing something right. And, I just really love that!”
