George... it's a beautiful night to come out and hit some golf balls on the range... especially knowing that you're supporting a great cause.
The chance to win a million dollars doesn't hurt either.
I met with a former first tee of rochester coach who now works for the minnesota golf association who keeps coming back for this great event.xxx this is something i've come back for every single year just to help with this.
It's an amazing fundraiser.
People come out and they hit to this green, raise a bunch of money, and they help kids to come out to continue playing the game and loving the game.
Proceeds from the million dollar shootout benefit the first tee and elks programs. rachel blauert was a coach for the first tee of rochester while attending college.
When asked why she keeps coming back year after year... her answer is simple.
Just the kids, i mean for the first tee it's an amazing national youth program that just heavily supports the children learning the game of golf and learning to be confident, honest, and learn their integrity, respect, and everything and this is a huge supporter of that.
It's a program aimed at giving children a support program they might not have elsewhere.
Developing a passion for the game of golf is an added bonus.
It's a game that you can play for the rest of your life.
We start kids at the age of five and you're playing up until you're 70, 80, 90 years old i mean my goal is to play until the last day that i can for sure and that's a huge thing for these kids.
Blauert strongly urges you to come take a few swings remembering it's more about the kids than the million dollars.
I really hope that people continue to keep coming out because it's for the (?
