Ureal turnout at First Tee of Augusta this morning....

[Dub]

I went to sign up my son in the First Tee Par class this morning (first day to sign kids up for "Season 4")

They openend at 8:00am. I arrived at 8:15am....parking lot was packed and overflowing into an adjacent lot.

The line started outside the clubhouse. I waited in line until 10:05am to get him enrolled.

Unreal turnout. I am amazed at how popular this program is.

Dub-

Could you please post updates about you and your son's experience with the program? I keep emailing my local chapter to see if I can volunteer, but no one ever gets back to me. (I keep forgetting to call. I only seem to remember when I: (a) don't have time to call; or (b) late at night - hence, email.) Anyway I would like to know how it goes. I have hear it is a fantastic program. Not sure what I could do to help in a volunteer capacity (I am NOT qualified to teach the golf swing, and I don't want to be stuck inside somewhere), so if you could relay your observations about what kind of help they require, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Wow thats great, I too like Harry, am going to volunteer at the local chapter. But after reading your thread title I thought you were going to say something like they get to play at Agusta National and practice there too.

No, but it does look like they have their own golf course right next to Augusta municipal:

Dub I went called them at the FToA yesterday afternoon after reading your message and they still had openings so I went out and registered my 9 yo in the pre-par class Tuesdays at 5:15. My older son has done it before and he's planing on taking another class this Winter. He's planning on trying out for the golf team at DFA which starts in January so we'll have to see how his schedule goes. This past Summer we were up at the FToA practically everyday. When they are members the rates are crazy low.
