The First Tee of Central Florida is hosting an interactive golf 'preview day' on Friday, June 29, 2012 at Bay Hill Golf Club in Orlando, Florida.
Highlights include a skills clinic with Hall-of-Famer Annika Sorenstam that will be hosted by the Golf Channel's Scott Walker. Annika will relay a few of her secrets to success on and off the course. She'll also discuss The First Tee's Nine Core Values along with their Nine Healthy Habits, of which she is the National Spokesperson.
The clinic will be followed by a round of golf for participating supporters at the home of the PGA TOUR's Arnold Palmer Invitational. Mr. Palmer, a National Trustee of The First Tee, donated the course, food and facilities to support the day.

Golf Channel, a new national partner of The First Tee helped coordinate the day and will be on hand to cover the festivities. Other major benefactors of TFTCF include the ANNIKA Foundation and Edyth Bush Charitable Foundation.
"We're looking forward to an exceptional day at Bay Hill," says Annika. "The Central Florida chapter's re-launch is a first step toward our goal of eventually making it a model for programs nationwide. This area is a hotbed for golf and our chapter should represent that."
The event, which is open to media and the public, will help raise awareness of TFTCF's revamped chapter and its mission to impact the lives of area youth. TFTCF is dedicated to providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.
