The Golf at Home Challenge
Recent COVID-19 concerns have restricted thousands of Americans to their own homes for the near future. As we all socially distance ourselves to ensure the safety of those more vulnerable in our communities, we’ve identified a need within our organization to help young people find healthy, creative outlets to put their minds at ease during this time of uncertainty.
Although many of us will be in our homes for the next several weeks, our love of golf remains and our sense of community has been collectively broadened over the internet. As such, The First Tee of Greater Austin has partnered with PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE to create an online contest - challenging golfers everywhere to put together and share a fun Golf At Home video. Create and show us how to play your homemade putt-putt course (2 holes max) or show off a trick shot using #GolfAtHomeChallenge…we want to see how YOU can play golf at home, safely of course. At The First Tee of Greater Austin, we’ve seen firsthand how sport can be an effective vehicle to learn life lessons, reduce stress and bring people together. That’s what we’re all about! Share your video with us on social media using #GolfAtHomeChallenge or via email at [email protected]. We will post entries to our respective social media pages and encourage others to share them as well to inspire others to take part! How to submit your entry:- Post your own entry on TikTok, Twitter, Facebook (account must be public to be viewable by our staff)
