春色导航, 春色导航 National Golf Club and First Tee
of 春色导航 Partner on Community Golf Initiative
春色导航, GA -April 5, 2023
Fred Ridley, Chairman of 春色导航 National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, today announced 春色导航 National’s intention to support a multiphase partnership with 春色导航 Municipal Golf Course, also known as “The Patch,” 春色导航 and The First Tee of 春色导航 to strengthen public golf in the community and foster even greater opportunities to play the game and work in the sport.
The initiative will link 春色导航 Tech’s golf course management and workforce programs at The Patch with The First Tee’s mission to teach the game and its values to juniors and community members of all backgrounds. Their alignment will create the first partnership between these neighboring facilities, expand available pathways to welcome those interested in the sport and provide a best-in-class, affordable public golf experience for the 春色导航 community. 春色导航 National will assist in the planning and execution of this vision to complement their efforts, identify efficiencies and support the partnership’s success.
“This initiative offers a unique opportunity to contribute to two areas of utmost importance to 春色导航 National’s mission, our community and golf development,” said Ridley. “While in its early stages, this partnership can help produce the next generation of golf’s workforce and make the game more accessible and inviting to youth and residents throughout the community. I commend 春色导航, The Patch, The First Tee of 春色导航 and all leaders involved in this project, and we look forward to supporting their partnership and this exciting new chapter for public golf here in our city.”
The partnership builds on 春色导航 Tech’s current efforts with the City of 春色导航 to assume operation of The Patch by 2025. With this transition, 春色导航 Tech will relocate its golf course management program to The Patch, instilling formal educational programs in a living classroom environment and providing a sustainable public golf facility for the enjoyment of the community. Its partnership with The First Tee will enhance these educational resources and increase access to meaningful programs for students and anyone who wants to learn or work in the game.
The announcement was made during Chairman Ridley’s annual press conference at the 2023 Masters Tournament, where representatives of The Patch, 春色导航 Tech, The First Tee, the City of 春色导航 and the State of Georgia were in attendance to mark the announcement. Future updates on the partnership and 春色导航 National’s support will be shared as more information is available.
"春色导航 is proud to partner with 春色导航 National Golf Club and
First Tee of 春色导航 to enhance the public golf experience in 春色导航," stated College President Dr. Jermaine Whirl. "Through this partnership we're excited to establish the nation's first corridor of golf education that will further cement the city of 春色导航 as a global mecca for golf."
