Reflections from Intern Darren Kwan (pictured above)
"A couple weeks before The First Tee closed down for the summer session, I took a hard look at what these kids had done over the past summer. They came in as regular kids, but after two months of class, once a week, these kids had the character to become leaders one day. There was no more losing of clubs, arguing between students, or crying after bad shots. I felt like I had done something special in helping. The kids felt like I had helped them mature also."
