New Girls Golf Assistant/JV Coach

Happy to announce that Dustin Schnable will be the new Fox Girls Golf Assistant/JV Coach. Welcome aboard.

First Tee at Pomme Creek GC

The First Tee of Greater St. Louis has started an On-Course program at Pomme Creek GC. The First Tee is an international youth development organization that introduces the game of golf and its inherent values to young people. They focus on reinforcing values like integrity, respect, and perseverance through the game of golf. This is a great program that you've probably heard of and seen already. Scott Langley from Parkway South is the first First Tee program participant to make it on the PGA tour. 

I'm posting this today to see if anyone would be interested in volunteering for the program. It occurs on Tuesdays at Pomme Creek From 5:00-7:00pm. Heather Wegge (Wegge Golf Academy) is the one running it, and we need a few more volunteers.

In order to volunteer you need to fill out a Volunteer Application. It is attached. You can bring it with you to Pomme on a Tuesday or get it to me some other way.
