​The Mission of The First Tee is:
"To impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf."

​On May 9th, 2019 the Three Lakes 18-Hole Ladies League is hosting the 48th Annual Golden Apple Golf Tournament. Every year the Three Lakes ladies select a charity to benefit from this ​fundraising ​event.  This years beneficiary is The First Tee Central Washington, a charity organization formed to help children develop life skills.  

According to The First Tee website:
"For more than 22 years we have been using the platform of golf to provide innovative and experiential learning opportunities for young people. Character education and long-term life skills are at the heart of our programs, which are delivered by coaches who have been trained in positive youth development."

​One of the main sources of fundraising for The Golden Apple Tournament is an annual raffle with a large bundle of FREE rounds of golf.  This years winner will receive certificates for 4 rounds of FREE golf, including carts at each of the following five courses:

Colockum Ridge Golf Course - Quincy, WA
Moses Lake Golf Club - Moses Lake, WA
Moses Pointe Golf Resort - Moses Lake, WA
Tam O-Shanter Golf & Country Club - Bellevue, WA
Wenatchee Golf & Country Club - East Wenatchee, WA

PLUS: 
​A Stay and Play (One night and 2 rounds of golf) at:
Circling Raven Golf Club - Worley, Idaho

​That is a total of 22 rounds of golf!  Even if you aren't a golfer, these certificates would make wonderful gifts for the golfer(s) in your life.  Tickets are $5 each, with no purchase limit.  The winner will be drawn at approximately 2 p.m. on May 9th after the Golden Apple Golf Tournament.  You can purchase tickets any time prior to the drawing.  

​For tickets or additional information call, text or email:

I’ve always enjoyed golf but I never knew just how much fun golf (and life) could be by hooking up with a bunch of Senior Women Golfers.  I’ve never had so much fun and laughed so much as when I’m with my golfing friends.

Traveling together and playing different course has been a joy. Through golf we have developed a bond beyond golf.  It’s more of a sisterhood. I hope we can introduce you to some new possibilities to enjoy your game even more.

Let’s go on this journey together.

Golf has pretty much saved my life. After being widowed I, literally, had to reinvent myself and I did it at the golf course. By connecting with an amazing bunch of senior women golfers, my life has become fun and fulfilling again. We golf together during the season, have lunch together during the off season, go to wine tastings, concerts, and even go on cruises together when the opportunity arises.

I hope by sharing my journey and adventures, it will give you some ideas for creating some new adventures and amazing memories of your own.

What could be better than creating a lifestyle centered around good friends, golf and a life filled with fun and laughter?

"A shot that goes in the hole is pure luck, but a shot to within two feet of the flag is skill."
-Ben Hogan

​"Golf is the closest game to the game we call life.  You can get bad breaks from good shots and you can get good breaks from bad shots.  But, you have to play the ball where it lies."
-Bobby Jones

​The game of golf is full of opportunities to learn lessons that apply to life.  One such example is when I was playing in a tournament last Spring.
​
My game didn't start off very well.  I had a double bogey on the first hole, and as the game went on several putts lipped out and I remember thinking "Ok, it's going to be one of THOSE days."  No big deal.  We always have a good lunch to look forward to.

The thing about golf is: things can go from bad to good... even great... in a single shot.  The reverse is true, too.  The point is EVERY shot counts.  Just because you made a bad shot doesn't mean the next one won't be a good one.

As the day went on, I played well even getting two seriously amazing chip-ins and making some excellent putts. 

At the end of the day, I won 1st Gross, a closest to the pin prize, AND long drive for the day. 

My golf game that day was like life and business in so many ways.  Don't ever get discouraged because things don't go the way you think they should or the way you want them to.  You always have the next decision (or shot) to get back on track. Stay focused on your goal.

You've probably heard it before and I'll say it again, most things in life and business are more like a marathon than a sprint.  

Don't get discouraged and keep trying.​
