May 22, 2020 • Golf TalkWashington

The COVID-19 stay at home orders have been particularly hard on golf loving, active kids. But the First Tee of Greater Seattle is working hard to keep them in the game and on course.

Evan Johnsen/Director of Programs & Development, joins Josh to talk about how the First Tee is working to adapt during these trying times, and how you can help.

And Evan details a once in a lifetime opportunity to play Chambers Bay from dawn to dusk in the inaugural Chambers Bay Solstice. On July 26, 2020, golf enthusiasts will compete in a challenge to complete 54 holes of golf or more in one day to raise donations and awareness for the First Tee of Seattle and the First Tee of South Puget Sound. Golfers will play all day, walking the challenging landscape of Chambers Bay and swinging away on the premier course in the Pacific Northwest. It will be a fun-filled and challenging day.
