This past weekend (January 8th -9th, 2010) a Level 1 First Tee Coach Training was administered by The First Tee of Metropolitan New York. Day one was held at, Mosholu Golf Course in the Bronx, home to The First Tee of Metropolitan New York’s Headquarters. Day Two was held at the Harlem Golf Academy. The HGA was conceived and Founded by Thomas Palmgren and is an indoor facility, mostly used for Tennis but is also an ideal area for indoor golf learning. Since it is located in Harlem the class was made up of kids who are less likely to be exposed to the game of golf, if it were not for this program.
 The training was attended by 15 individuals representing the various facilities within TFTMNY network. Instructors were Todd Bordonaro, Director of Programs and Instruction at The First Tee Metropolitan New York and Mike Wade, Director of Programs and Instruction at The First Tee Nassau County. Together they represent the finest in a growing number of Coaches who are needed to train other coaches in a curriculum that is the reason for the Success of the First Tee.
