The latest chapter of The First Tee has been established right here in San Luis Obispo County at Avila Beach and Blacklake Golf Resorts. The First Tee of the Central Coast offers convenient, comprehensive (and best of all, free) access for junior golfers all the way from Santa Barbara to Paso Robles (and beyond). "The First Tee Open" provides junior golfers the chance of their lifetime.

Like most of us, he's learning to "let go" of the bad shots and take it a shot at a time. He's learning a lot about the mental aspect of the game from who else but his son. |
