Chicago first tee participants travel south
Congratulations to The First Tee of Greater Chicago participants!
New Orleans (NOLA) had a wave of competitors from the Chicago-area participate in the annual tournament hosted by The First Tee of New Orleans!
For the majority of Chicago participants, it was their first time competing and visiting this fascinating city filled with a rich history, centuries-old architecture, and scrumptious cuisine.
NOLA was a balmy 81 degrees on Monday, 12/16/19, but by competition day, 12/21/19, the temperature had dropped over 20 degrees!!! Weather was more comparable to Chicago in the fall!
Hopeful The First Tee of Greater Chicago will have the opportunity to participate next year and beyond!

Golf Courses
Golf is probably the only sport that epitomizes the symbiotic relationship with nature. It creates “nature sanctuaries!”
Obama Center
What’s been overlooked in the conversation surrounding the Presidential Center’s proposed location in Jackson Park is that the park is in terrible shape.

“Studies are showing that golf courses can actually support a greater diversity and greater number of bird species…” Golf + Nature = Symbioses

In a new, wide-ranging interview w/@MensJournal, @TigerWoods commented upon his evolving approach to the game, giving back through the @TGRFound, and his motivations to “make a positive impact in the community” @ChicagoParks Jackson Park & South Shore.
Tell us why you decided to get involved in the Jackson Park project? ( An affordable, municipal golf course on Chicago’s south side.)
“My TGR Design company is very excited to be involved in this project. This course can be a lot more than just golf. It can make a positive impact in the community too. We’re designing a course that will challenge better players, but will also be fun for beginners and high handicap golfers too. It’s a public course, and to me, that’s important. That’s where I learned to play the game.” -Tiger Woods
"Time to do something really significant" -Tiger Woods
