How Logan Cassidy’s grandfather put him on the path to the PURE Insurance Championship 

The box of scorecards Logan received from his grandfather, commemorating their time on the course

Every golfer has a story about how they fell in love with the game. For Logan Cassidy, a participant with First Tee – Greater Philadelphia, that story starts with his grandfather – and it lives on in a shoebox full of scorecards. 

Last Christmas, Logan’s grandfather gave him an unexpected gift: a box containing every scorecard from the rounds the two had played together over the years. It wasn’t just a record of scores. Tucked alongside the numbers were his grandfather’s handwritten notes, marking the shots Logan hit that he thought were special. 

“It was a really thoughtful gift with a lot of memories,” Logan said. 

It’s fitting, because Logan’s grandfather is the reason he found First Tee. He was a close friend of First Tee – Greater Philadelphia’s board president and encouraged Logan to get involved when he was just 7. From there, Logan was hooked, both on the game and on the community of kids he found through the program. 

“First Tee has introduced me to great people, who also love to play golf, be around the game and care about people,” said Logan, who aspires to play collegiate golf and study business. 

Nearly a decade later, Logan is one of First Tee – Greater Philadelphia’s most active participants. A senior at Holy Ghost Preparatory School in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, he splits his time between a rigorous course load, a competitive golf schedule and deep involvement at his chapter, where he works at John F. Byrne Golf Course and coaches younger players. 

That combination of commitment and character caught the attention of his chapter, which nominated him for one of First Tee’s most prestigious opportunities: a spot in the 2026 PURE Insurance Championship Impacting First Tee, September 18-20 at Pebble Beach Golf Links. 

A scorecard from one of their golf outings, that notes not only their scores, but also a shot whereLogan birdied from the bunker

As he prepares to represent First Tee – Greater Philadelphia on a national stage, Logan carries with him the life skills and values the program has instilled over the last decade. Three holes-in-one, countless practice sessions in every kind of weather and a shoebox of scorecards later, the game that started with his grandfather is now taking Logan to the Pebble Beach. 

The PURE Insurance Championship pairs First Tee juniors with PGA TOUR Champions legends and leaders from the business world for a week of competition and mentorship. The tournament is broadcast on Golf Channel.

Outcome isn’t everything: Help your child prep for their next tournament

Tournament season brings a familiar flutter of nerves, not just for the young golfers teeing it up, but for the parents watching from behind the ropes. It’s natural to want your child to play well. But the scorecard shouldn’t be the only measure of success. 

First Tee has always believed that golf is the vehicle, not the destination. Real growth lives in the way kids react to disappointment, bounce back after obstacles and treat their follow competitors. Here’s how parents can help their junior golfer step onto the course with the right mindset.

Normalize nerves, don’t try to erase them 

Nervous energy before a big round is not a problem to be solved. It’s a sign that something matters to your child, and that’s a good thing. Instead of trying to talk them out of feeling nervous, help them name it with statements like: “It makes sense that you feel that way. This is important to you.” 

Using the right language as the competition approaches can also be helpful. Avoid giving the tournament too much power by adding qualifiers like “big” and “important” when discussing it with your child. Most accomplished athletes would agree that one game or tournament won’t make or break a career. 

On the practical side, logistics can take over tournament day: Is the bag packed? What’s the tee time? Try discussing these things throughout the week so it doesn’t feel like you’re cramming the night before.  

Try zooming out too. Ask your child what they’re excited to experience – from seeing friends to trying a new shot or playing a new course. Not only can this help relieve pressure, but it’s also an important reminder that the score isn’t the only thing that counts. 

Process over outcome 

Junior golfers pick up on far more than instruction; they absorb how the adults around them respond to pressure and setbacks.  

Golf is a difficult sport, and the scorecard isn’t always a reflection or the effort and personal growth that took place during a round. Instead of focusing on numbers, commend your child for staying calm during a tough moment or treating their playing partner with respect. These are the moments worth celebrating and naming them out loud teaches your child that a good round and a good score aren’t always the same thing. 

If your child wants to talk after their round, listen first before offering perspective. If they don’t, that’s OK too. First Tee encourages teens to take ownership over their goals – maybe that means talking them through or processing internally. 

Years from now, your child likely won’t remember every shot from a junior tournament. What tends to stick are the feelings: the excitement, the camaraderie and the pride of overcoming tough moments. Celebrating those feelings, before, during and after the round, is one of the most valuable things a parent can offer on tournament day.

Allen Theatres Claims the Corporate Cup at 15th Annual Corporate Challenge

First Tee – Four Corners celebrated the 15th Annual Corporate Challenge, bringing together local businesses and community supporters for one of our favorite traditions of the year.

The Corporate Challenge is more than a golf tournament—it is a celebration of the businesses and organizations that invest in our community and support the mission of First Tee – Four Corners. Each year, teams take to the course with their sights set on one of the event’s most coveted prizes: the Corporate Cup!

This year, Allen Theatres claimed the title. Congratulations to team members Burke Allen, Nate Allen, Ron Dalley, and Tony Mike Jr. on earning the 2026 Corporate Cup!

The tournament also included one of its most exciting traditions—the opportunity for one lucky golfer to take a shot at a $1 million hole-in-one.

Most importantly, the Corporate Challenge is a key fundraising event supporting First Tee – Four Corners and our mission to impact young people through the game of golf. Funds raised help us provide programs that teach life skills and character values while creating opportunities for youth throughout the Four Corners.

We are grateful for the opportunity to bring so many of our supporters together for a day of golf, friendly competition, and community. Thank you to every business, golfer, sponsor, and volunteer who helped make our 15th Annual Corporate Challenge a success!

Summer Veterans League Celebrates Its Biggest Season Yet

First Tee – Four Corners wrapped up its Summer Veterans League with its largest field yet, continuing the exciting growth of our programs serving veterans throughout the Four Corners.

Hosted at Riverview Golf Course, the Veterans League brings golfers together for friendly nine-hole competition, but the program is about much more than golf. It is about building community. Each week gives veterans an opportunity to get outside, enjoy the game, connect with one another, and build friendships in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

We are incredibly grateful to Basin Health Companies for supporting our efforts and helping us continue to provide this opportunity for local veterans.

The Veterans League is one part of First Tee – Four Corners’ growing commitment to serving those who have served. Our veterans programming also includes PGA HOPE, which provides golf instruction and an introduction to the game, and the Together with Veterans Golf Tournament, which gives veterans an opportunity to enjoy a fun, competitive tournament experience.

Together, these programs provide different ways for veterans to connect through golf—from learning the game to weekly league play to competition.

And we aren’t finished yet! Fall Veterans League begins September 9 at Riverview Golf Course, and we look forward to welcoming our veterans back for another great season of golf, friendship, and community.

First Annual Buddy Games Brings Athletes Together at Riverview Golf Course

First Tee – Four Corners was thrilled to partner with our friends at the City of Farmington and San Juan County for the first annual Buddy Games, a celebration of athletes of all abilities and the joy of competition.

Riverview Golf Course served as the host for the golf portion of the Buddy Games, bringing participants together for a fun and welcoming day on the course. Golfers played nine holes in four-person teams, giving everyone the opportunity to compete, encourage their teammates, and enjoy the game.

The Buddy Games are a great example of how sports can create opportunities for connection, confidence, and belonging. While there was plenty of friendly competition throughout the day, the focus was on celebrating each athlete and creating an experience where everyone could participate and succeed.

For First Tee – Four Corners, being part of the inaugural event was a natural fit with our commitment to making the game of golf accessible and welcoming to everyone in our community.

We are grateful to the City of Farmington, San Juan County, Riverview Golf Course, the volunteers, and everyone who helped make the first Buddy Games a success. We look forward to seeing this new community tradition continue to grow!

Talking to your child about new teachers, classrooms and nerves 

New school year, new teachers, new classrooms, new seat assignments, maybe even a new school altogether. For a lot of kids, all that “new” adds up to one familiar feeling: nerves. 

As parents, it’s tempting to smooth things over with a quick, “You’ll be fine!” But some of the most valuable conversations happen when we slow down and make space for nervousness instead of rushing past it.  

Honesty and respect are two of the lessons First Tee coaches aim to instill on the golf course, and they can be really valuable when it comes to addressing nerves heading into a new school year. 

Encourage honest conversations 

On the course, coaches encourage kids to be honest about their score, even when nobody’s watching and even when the number is not what they hoped for. That same kind of honesty is useful at the kitchen table in August. 

Asking open-ended questions that inspire thoughtfulness can help kids better understand and process their feelings about a new school year. Try questions like: 

  • “What’s one change you’re looking forward to about the new school year?” 
  • “What’s one thing that feels a little uncertain right now?”  

Honesty goes both ways in these conversations. Kids pick up when parents are anxious too — about carpool logistics, new schedules, a PTA role. Naming your own small uncertainties shows that nerves are normal and nothing to hide. 

One important thing for parents to remember is that change is part of growing up, not a problem to fix. Show respect for your child’s feelings with phrases like: 

  • “It’s normal that this doesn’t feel easy yet. Most things don’t feel easy on the first try.” 
  • “You don’t have to have this figured out by Friday. Give it a few weeks.” 
  • “Feeling a little nervous doesn’t mean something is wrong. It just means it’s new.” 

That kind of language takes the pressure off kids to perform confidence they don’t feel and gives them permission to grow into the new situation the same way they grow into a new golf skill: with repetition, not perfection. 

It’s important to teach kids that no one gets everything right. At First Tee, we view failure as the First Attempt In Learning. Mistakes happen and help us improve next time. 

The bigger picture 

Here are some questions to try in the car or at dinner as your child settles into their new routine: 

  • “What’s something your new teacher does differently than last year?” 
  • “Who did you sit with today and what did you learn about them?” 
  • “What’s one thing you handled today that felt a little hard?” 
  • “How can I help you get ready for tomorrow?” 

The goal is not to eliminate their nerves but to help them build a habit of being honest about their feelings, a skill that will serve them into adulthood.  

Building a positive self-identity provides kids with confidence to navigate challenges, setbacks and social pressures throughout life. When children learn to see themselves as capable, valued and worthy of respect, they’re more likely to form healthy relationships and take on new opportunities.

Leading with kindness: How Addi Schneider found her strengths  

On and off the course, First Tee – West Michigan participant Addi Schneider is a true game changer, always leading others with kindness and empathy.  

“Leadership isn’t just about achieving a goal,” Addi said. “It’s about having the grit to stay by someone’s side until they believe in their own potential.” That belief guides everything she does, and this week she is carrying it all the way to the First Tee Leadership Summit in partnership with PGA TOUR Superstore in Montana.  

A leader in the making 

Addi has been involved with First Tee – West Michigan for five years and now serves as a First Tee volunteer coach. Beyond the course, she volunteers with her school’s Special Olympics program and serves as a peer mentor, supporting students with special needs in the classroom. 

This spring, Addi took her leadership to the next level after participating in Leadership Series, a five-week program presented in partnership with PGA TOUR Superstores across the country that helps First Tee participants explore their strengths, values and possible career paths. There, she discovered her core strengths — discipline, focus and achievement. Now, she’s one of 40 participants attending Leadership Summit, where she’ll deepen her leadership skills through outdoor adventures and team-building activities. 

A diagnosis that shaped her leadership style 

Addi’s leadership style has been forged since first grade, when she was diagnosed with dyslexia. 

The diagnosis brought real challenges: the frustration of falling behind her peers and moments when she felt like a burden to classmates and teachers. But as Addi grew older, her perspective shifted. Rather than viewing dyslexia as a weakness, she came to view it as a superpower that gave her a unique ability to empathize with others.  

That empathy shows up every week during the classes Addi coaches as a volunteer coach, where she connects with participants, understands their struggles and works to instill confidence in each of them. 

During one class discussion on positive self-identity, Addi asked participants to share how they live out one of First Tee values in their own lives. One response stuck with her: A participant said it doesn’t matter what others think. It matters what you think of yourself. 

That moment reminded Addi of the impact she was making. “My greatest strength is the character I have that allows me to help students find their own voice,” she said. “And with that, the confidence to be themselves.” 

She brings that same purpose to her high school’s peer-to-peer program, where she supports students with special needs. Having experienced firsthand what it feels like to struggle and fall behind, Addi understands that not every student learns the same way and leads with a commitment to provide each of them equal opportunities to succeed. 

Looking ahead  

Her experience with the program has encouraged her to pursue a degree in special education and minor in American Sign Language, working toward a world that values access, empathy and equality. She’s already living that mission today: “My daily goals are to lead with kindness and make a difference in others’ lives,” she said. 

Addi’s journey has shaped her into a leader who meets people with patience, empathy, and unshakeable belief in their potential, and that journey is just getting started. In Montana, she will carry the same values that have guided her all along: discipline, focus and a heart for helping others find their voice. 

How First Tee connected DJ Belcher to NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson and helped him land his dream internship

A youth development program usually does not come with a connection to seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson. But that is exactly what the First Tee gave to Drake “DJ” Belcher: a relationship that helped him land an internship at William Morris Endeavor this summer, one of the top talent agencies in the country.

DJ is a rising junior at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, majoring in finance. Growing up in Greenville, South Carolina, he joined First Tee – Triad at around 7 years old. Since then, his time in the program has shaped both his professional growth and his desire to give back to the next generation of participants.

Growing beyond the fairway

Last summer, DJ interned with First Tee – Triad through its Historically Black College and University Internship Program, which connects student-athletes from HBCUs across the country with professional development opportunities and the chance to lead summer camps in underserved communities. The program is supported in part by an IDEA grant. The USGA has awarded more than $1 million in these grants to First Tee chapters over the last five years.

Determined to leave his mark on the sport, DJ did not just coach; he inspired. He helped participants grow and believe in their full potential. “I want to increase representation and increase diversity in the game,” he said. He put that mission into action by giving participants a firsthand look at the doors golf can open, both on and off the course. Little did he know that the same internship would soon open a door of his own.

An opportunity that changed everything

Always eager to learn from others, DJ used the internship to expand his professional network. After sharing that goal with Ryan Wilson, CEO of First Tee – Triad, he was offered the chance to caddie for Jimmie Johnson at the 2025 Wyndham Championship Pro-Am. He accepted without hesitation.

What began as meeting a well-known name in NASCAR grew into a much more personal relationship. During their time together, DJ shared his aspirations to work in the sports entertainment industry, where he hopes to negotiate contracts, oversee brand deals and develop athletes’ personal brands. Jimmie, in turn, shared that he was represented by WME and expressed that he would love to connect DJ with his representation team so he could gain more insight into opportunities within the agency industry.

“That was our first interaction,” DJ said. “We had only known each other for three hours. Having the ambition, the drive to really just want to do better for myself, want to expose myself to different environments — he recognized that and has been willing to share his experiences with me.”

After connecting with WME, DJ knew he had found a path worth pursuing. He made a point of thanking the employees he met and staying in touch afterward. That persistence paid off when he applied to WME’s internship program and was accepted as a brand partnerships intern in its New York City office.

Jimmie did not just help DJ get his foot in the door — he left him with advice to carry into the role: Take advantage of being young, approach every experience with an open mind and never hesitate to ask questions. DJ has taken that advice to heart, treating the internship less like a job and more like a mentorship experience, one built on curiosity and continuous growth.

A bond built to last

The relationship between DJ and Jimmie has only strengthened since their first encounter. “We have had a lot more time to bond and create more of a personal relationship than a transactional relationship,” DJ said. “We have a genuine bond.”

DJ credits Jimmie’s willingness to share his time and resources as a reflection of who he truly is: “It really speaks to his character, sharing his resources with people who are willing to put in the work for it.”

From attending Jimmie’s races to playing in Jimmie’s foundation golf tournaments, DJ is looking forward to continuing to strengthen his relationship with Jimmie and learning and growing from him at a personal level.

DJ’s story is proof of what is possible when curiosity meets ambition. With a mentor like Jimmie in his corner and a career only beginning to take shape, this is just the start of the path ahead for DJ.

First Tee, PGA TOUR Superstore bring 40 teens to Montana for 6th annual Leadership Summit


Actor Michael Peña and golf broadcaster Amanda Balionis headline this year’s guest speaker lineup.

EMIGRANT, Montana (Aug. 3, 2026) – Youth development organization First Tee and longtime partner PGA TOUR Superstore are hosting the 2026 First Tee Leadership Summit at West Creek Ranch, welcoming 40 participants for two weeks of leadership development set against the backdrop of Paradise Valley in Montana.

Now in its sixth year, the Leadership Summit pairs outdoor adventure with intentional reflection to foster personal growth.

From Topgolf to a national stage: How golf helped Sydney find her voice 

When Sydney Purdon stepped up to hit balls at a new Topgolf facility near her home in Aledo, Texas, she had no idea she was about to find her sport. She was 8 years old, and her parents had signed her up for summer camp, mostly to see if golf would stick. By the end of her very first day, she had hit more than 300 balls and was hooked. 

“I had tried dance, cheer, basketball and soccer when I was younger, but golf turned out to be my favorite sport to play,” Sydney said. That same fall, her parents discovered First Tee – Fort Worth, and she has been an active participant every season since. 

Eight years later, Sydney is a junior coach at her chapter, and she’s pursuing Ace, First Tee’s capstone program for teens. She was also selected to attend the 2026 First Tee Game Changers Academy, a national opportunity presented in partnership with AWS, the 3M Open and Topgolf, fittingly the same brand that first put a club in her hands. 

“Stories like Sydney’s exemplify why we’re so proud to be a gateway to golf for countless young people,” said Tiffany Brush, senior director of marketing and charitable initiatives at Topgolf. “Whether it’s through our summer academy programs, partnership with First Tee or simply providing a fun, no pressure environment to try something new for family day out, we’re committed to introducing the world to the sport we love. Sydney’s remarkable journey from discovering her passion at Topgolf as an 8-year-old to becoming a Game Changers Academy member and leader in her community is exactly the kind of impact we hope to create every single day.” 

Leading by example, on and off the course 

Game Changers Academy focuses on inclusive leadership, something Sydney has already demonstrated at her chapter. As a volunteer coach on Saturday mornings, she works directly with younger players, many of them girls just starting their First Tee journey. Since pursuing Ace, Coach Chuck said Sydney “has shown up regularly and faithfully, investing in younger participants and modeling leadership through action.” She’s also volunteered at the PGA TOUR’s Charles Schwab Challenge and with LPGA Girls Golf. 

Sydney’s commitment to inclusion is not abstract. She lives with primary ciliary dyskinesia, a rare genetic condition that affects her lungs and requires frequent medical care, including a hospital stay last year. Rather than let it sideline her, Sydney channeled her experiences into advocacy, raising concerns with her school counselors about attendance policies that unintentionally penalized students managing chronic health needs. Leaning on First Tee’s CARE framework – communicate, actively listen, review options, end with a win-win solution – she worked toward a solution that let her stay eligible for academic rewards while managing her care. 

That same resilience carried her back to golf. Starting with putting and short game before working up to full swings again, Sydney returned to competition and continues to improve, currently competing for Aledo High School’s varsity team while maintaining a 4.43 GPA. 

Looking ahead 

Sydney hopes to graduate near the top of her class, lower her handicap and pursue a career in graphic design, all while continuing to grow First Tee’s reach in her community. As she heads to Minneapolis this July for Game Changers Academy, she carries with her the same curiosity that brought her to that first Topgolf bay nearly a decade ago, now matched with a clear sense of purpose: using her own experience to make sure no one feels left out. 

First Tee Game Changers Academy returns to Minneapolis bringing all-star lineup of experiences, including keynote from Olympic medalist Kellie Wells Brinkley 

Focused on inclusive leadership, the event brings together 72 teens from across the country, encouraging them to elevate their voices and lead change in their communities. 

MINNEAPOLIS (July 17, 2026) – The 2026 First Tee Game Changers Academy Honoring Joe Louis Barrow Jr. returns to Minneapolis, bringing together 72 teens from across the U.S. for a workshop designed to challenge them to elevate their voices, embrace their differences and become advocates for positive change in their communities. 

First Tee’s longest-running participant event takes place July 18–22, 2026, with participants staying on campus at the University of Minnesota while taking part in a week of dynamic workshops, reflective activities and immersive golf experiences, including a round at the storied Interlachen Country Club, host of the 2008 U.S. Women’s Open. 

Headlining the week’s welcome event at the Target Center will be keynote speaker Kellie Wells Brinkley, an Olympic bronze medalist. The conversation will focus on the impact of coaching and lessons in leadership, covering her experience from athlete to sports business executive.  

“Game Changers Academy aims to equip participants with the confidence, character and skills needed to lead in their communities,” said First Tee CEO Greg McLaughlin. “We are deeply grateful to AWS, 3M Open and Topgolf for their steadfast commitment to this program and to the next generation of leaders.” 

The itinerary includes hands-on leadership workshops, as well as trips to Topgolf and the 3M Open, where the teens will participate in a clinic led by First Tee Ambassador Austin Smotherman, an alumnus of First Tee – Greater Sacramento and PGA TOUR player. 

AWS, 3M Open and Topgolf are proud partners of the event. In addition to financial support, representatives from the organization will lead activities and facilitate sessions throughout the week. 

First Tee is a youth development organization that uses golf as a vehicle to build character and life skills. The Game Changers Academy is open to teens participating in First Tee chapters nationwide, with participants selected through a competitive application process. It’s one of a full slate of First Tee national participant events focusing on topics like competitive golf, community service and leadership. 

Record Field Highlights Growing Tradition at the Taco Bell Junior Classic

More than 70 junior golfers from across the Four Corners region gathered at Civitan Golf Course
on July 13 for the annual Taco Bell Junior Classic, making this year’s tournament the largest in
the event’s history.


Open to golfers ages 7 to 16, the Taco Bell Junior Classic continues to provide young players
with the opportunity to experience the excitement, challenge, and sportsmanship of tournament
golf in a fun and supportive environment.

This event has become a summer tradition for many families, but its roots stretch back much
further. After a nearly 20-year hiatus, the tournament was revived six years ago thanks to the
enthusiasm and support of Kenny Anderson and the Taco Bell team. Since then, participation
has grown every year, reflecting the increasing interest in junior golf throughout our region.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Kenny Anderson and Taco Bell for believing in this event,” said
First Tee – Four Corners Executive Director Tina Pacheco-White. “Their commitment has helped
create an experience that many young golfers look forward to every summer.”


This year’s Overall Girls Champion was Parker Yazzie, who fired an impressive 33, while Cam
Edminston
captured the Overall Boys Championship with an outstanding 27.

While the champions deserve recognition, the true success of the Taco Bell Junior Classic is
measured by every young golfer who stepped onto the first tee. For many participants, this
tournament represents the chance to take the skills they’ve developed through practice and
lessons and apply them in a real tournament setting. Learning to manage nerves, follow the rules
of competition, demonstrate integrity, and support fellow competitors are all valuable
experiences that extend well beyond the scorecard.


Events like the Taco Bell Junior Classic are an important part of the player development pathway
at First Tee – Four Corners. They provide young golfers with meaningful competitive
opportunities while reinforcing the confidence, resilience, and character that the game of golf
helps build.


First Tee – Four Corners extends its sincere appreciation to Taco Bell, Aspen Leaf, Allen
Theatres and the volunteers, staff, families, and Civitan Golf Course
for making this year’s
event another tremendous success. With record participation and another year of memorable
competition in the books, the future of the Taco Bell Junior Classic has never looked brighter.
