First Tee of Greater Pasadena and EWGA Host Second Annual Girls’ Golf Day July 25
On July 25th, The First Tee of Greater Pasadena and the Los Angeles Chapter of the Executive Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) will hold the second annual Girls’ Golf Day Mentoring Event at the Arroyo Seco Golf Course in South Pasadena. The event will consist of 18 holes of golf at the par-3 course, and a “Big Break” challenge led by The First Tee of Greater Pasadena’s coach Kathy Cho.
Last year, the EWGA and The First Tee announced a partnership to increase female mentoring opportunities. The partnership brings together more than 120 EWGA Chapters with 179 The First Tee Chapters to promote female role models and mentors. The partnership will assist The First Tee with their efforts to increase female participation. The First Tee’s current female participation stands at 37 percent.
This year’s event will be comprised of girls enrolled in The First Tee of Greater Pasadena summer classes. Each girl will be paired with an EWGA (Executive Women’s Golf Association) mentor.
Check-in begins at 8 a.m. with the “Big Break” skills challenge occurring before golf. Tee times begin at 9 a.m. with a shotgun start and will end around noon, followed by lunch.
