NEWARK, Del. -- Members of the University of Delaware men's and women's golf teams volunteered their time and talents with the First Tee of Delaware program earlier this month at Downes Elementary School.
Emma Sills, Marie Bogenez, and Baralee Theinthong.
The First Tee of Delaware is a nonprofit youth development organization whose mission is to impact the lives of young people in the state by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development, life-enhancing values and healthy choices through the game of golf.
“We worked with the young kids with the First Tee program, setting up a putt-putt course, showing them how to hold a club, and handing out prizes,” said Sills, a senior and four-year member of the women's golf team. “It was great to work with all of the young children, and to see how much interest they have in golf at such a young age.”
“It means the world to us and our program for the UD players to participate in our programs,” said First Tee of Delaware Program Director Charma Bell. “Our kids are thrilled to interact with the players. They really are role models, and we are extremely grateful to be partnered with the University of Delaware golf programs.”
