Leonard Wright, 11, of Brunswick, Georgia, has been a member of the local Boys and Girls Club since he was 4. Recently named student of the year, Leonard has participated in the local chapter of First Tee for three years. First Tee helps build strength of character by integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum. Leonard hopes to pursue a career in sports, particularly golf or baseball.
“I learned a lot through the First Tee program.
I really like getting to meet new people and
interacting with them.
I like playing the course
on Jekyll because it makes me feel like I’m
a professional golfer playing with important people or professionals.
I am thankful for the
opportunity to learn
so much.”
