Podcasts about The First Tee

What can golf teach us about business, leadership, and personal growth? A lot more than you might think. In this special episode of Career Can Do, Chris Sandland, Director of Operations at Faremouth & Company, steps in as our host, Mary Ann. Chris sits down with Joe Bronson, CEO of The Bronson Group and author of books Golf Chronicles, Through The Green, and Pardon Me. 50 Years of Gold, One Hole at a Time. With decades of experience in both the boardroom and on the golf course, Joe shares stories and insights that show how the game mirrors life, from ethics and decision-making to handling setbacks and building relationships. Joe has played 93 of the top 100 golf courses in the U.S. and even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of playing a round with golf legend Arnold Palmer. But beyond the prestige and unforgettable moments, Joe sees golf as a powerful tool for connection and leadership development. Whether he's navigating a challenging par three or a major business decision, the mindset is often the same: know your skill set, take smart risks, and stay focused on the present. He explains, “In business, just like in golf, emotion can ruin you. You have to keep things in balance, stay disciplined, and respond to the situation in front of you, not the one behind you.” Chris and Joe also explore how golf can still be a relevant networking tool, even in today's digital-first world. Joe argues that spending four hours on a course with someone tells you more about them than a dozen Zoom meetings ever could. And he's seen firsthand how a well-timed piece of advice from someone who believes in you, even a caddie, can shift your entire approach. Now retired from corporate life, Joe focuses on giving back. All proceeds from his book support youth golf and university programs, including The First Tee, which helps underprivileged kids learn the game while gaining life skills. If you're a leader, a golfer, or just someone trying to make good decisions in work and life, this episode offers timeless lessons, and a few great stories, from someone who's walked both the fairway and the executive floor.

CAS 6-6-1-2025 Julie Jansa-First Tee of South Dakota by Calling All Sports

Eric Gibson believes that the future of golf starts where a player's fingers meet the club. As CCO of Golf Pride, he is redefining the grip as 'equipment for the hands.' It's a widely-accepted shift by Tour professionals, as Golf Pride grips were used by approximately 90% of competitors at the 2025 Masters. He tells Ryan why he hires non-golfers to keep ideas fresh and why he supports innovative formats, like short courses, creator leagues, and even two-hour rounds. Eric explains his mantra of 'short steps, long vision,' which encourages leaders to prioritize lasting behavioral change over immediate data-driven highs. From partnerships with The First Tee to the ideation of a 13-hole course model, he reveals how steady hands and a patient strategy can carry a centuries-old game into its next era.

9:30AM Hour 4 Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase have some fun in the final segment of the day, and Jeremy explains his struggle with his sons tee ball team!

A short drive from Augusta, GA is the quaint, beautiful town of Aiken, SC, known for its iconic horse businesses of breeding, training, and showing. It's also home to one of the truly great, historic golf courses in the Southeast, Aiken Golf Course, which in the past couple of years has gone from "Hidden Gem" to "Must Play" for anyone who loves the game., One week after playing, and being enthralled once again by, AGC, Mitch (and Darin and Kris) are joined by AGC owner Jim McNair, Jr., who, along with his father Jim, Sr. before him, have shepherded this affordable, welcoming, and challenging municipal course for 65+ years, and are finally getting the recognition for a lifetime of passion and service to the golf community they so richly deserve.  Jim shares the history of his beloved golf course, which dates back to 1912, as well as his father's involvement which began in 1959. He discusses the various challenges and iterations of AGC, leading up to the late '90s and his decision to completely "reawaken" the course, a journey that continues with Jim at the helm on a daily basis. He also shares his involvement with the First Tee and USC Aiken in designing a short-course and pracitce facility wonder, the Chalk Mine 9, a legacy project that serves not only First Tee kids and the USC Aiken golf team, but the AIken community as well.

Today I'm sitting down with Jen Weiler, Senior Vice President of Network Relations at First Tee, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching kids life skills and building their character through the game of golf! “At First Tee,” Jen says, “we believe that character is what you bring to everything you do; but you aren't born with it.” With 150 chapters across the country, the coaches at First Tee have taught countless youth to help them build confidence, set meaningful goals, and learn the value of perseverance - all through the game of golf! Jen also emphasizes that First Tee's work wouldn't be possible without the support of its community and shares how our listeners can get involved and give back. Listen in as Jen walks us through the evolution of First Tee, from its fundraising success story involving a $106 million campaign, all the way to the organization's ambitious 2025 goals. Finally, Jen talks about the spark that led to First Tee's mission to reach youths from disadvantaged backgrounds, and how she aims to make golf accessible through equipment and transportation solutions. She also shares why women-only golf trips are an absolute must for female golfers of any skill level!Check out The First Tee hereFirst Tee on Instagram For more information on all our Practice Programs and Freebies, Women's Golf Retreats and Partner Tournaments, visit ToriTotlis.com.Register for the 2025 Danzante Bay Invitational hereCheck out the upcoming 2026 Wimbledon and Scotland Retreats hereGet in touch!Instagram: @tori_totlisTikTok: @tori_totlisYouTube: @tori.totlisWebsite: CompeteConfidenceGolf.com

Then later they reflect on Season 11, with the many guests and discussions.

Sometimes you just need to let it all out! In this lighthearted rant and rage session, we discuss the highs, lows, and downright ridiculousness of fundraising life. Remember it's okay to vent, and we'll be here to listen every step of the way.

What can we learn from a GoFundMe campaign that raised over $517,000 to throw a frat party? Turns out, a clever and comedic call to action can have donors throwing down cash faster than a solo cup at a kegger. Let's dive into how a little humor, emotion, and simplicity turned an ordinary ask into a viral fundraising success.

GS963: Summary    Matt Davis, the creator of Puttercup is this week's guest. Putter Cup is an innovative golf hole insert that offers two products: the Speed Bump and the Center Cup. The Speed Bump is a 360-degree raised incline around the golf hole that forces golfers to hit the ball with enough speed and helps correct offline putts. The Center Cup is a hole reducer that shrinks the size of the hole by an inch. Davis emphasizes that putting should be simple and that training aids should focus on concentration rather than mechanics. He also discusses his partnership with the First Tee organization and his plans for future product expansion. There's even more on this episode! A couple weeks ago PXG renewed their sponsorship of Golf Smarter, and once again, PXG invited Fred out for a fitting. The PXG fitting process was so interesting that we wanted to share it with you. Next week the PXG campaign will begin, and even though this could be interpreted as an informercial for PXG, rest assured that we received no additional compensation for including this edited recording in today's episode. It was completely at our discretion and in no way did PXG or my agency suggest that we include this.TakeawaysPuttercup offers two innovative golf hole inserts: the Speed Bump and the Center Cup.The Speed Bump is a 360-degree raised incline around the golf hole that helps golfers hit the ball with enough speed and correct offline putts.The Center Cup is a hole reducer that shrinks the size of the hole by an inch, making putting more challenging.Matt Davis believes that putting should be simple and that training aids should focus on concentration rather than mechanics.Puttercup has partnered with the First Tee organization and donates 5% of its sales to support their mission.Puttercup is planning to expand its product line with a portable golf hole called the To Go Cup.Puttercup is open to suggestions and feedback from golfers and is considering retail partnerships to make their products more widely available.Two ways to become a Golf Smarter Ambassador and receive a choice of one of these great prizes including:        • Glove + Glove Compartment from RedRoosterGolf.com where you can now choose from a  large variety of styles of gloves for men and women in 36 sizes!        • A private link to Tony Manzoni's video “The Lost Fundamental”        • A pack of 8 Flightpath Golf Tees.

Have you ever based a fundraising decision off of a single article or statistic presented in a study? Data is all around us, and statistics are often presented as "best practice" or "latest trends", but are they, really?

Comparison is the thief of joy. Many nonprofits look at what other organizations are doing and try to replicate their success, expecting the same results. But you are not them, and your donors are not their donors.
