The Pink Tee Foundation, a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit mentoring program that introduces inner city girls between the ages of 7-17 to the game of golf, will be kicking off their 3rd season April 18 at Tenison Golf Course.
Pink Tee Foundation started in 2013 and the momentum continues to touch the lives of young girls throughout the DFW Metroplex. This year Pink Tee started with an after school program at Focus Academy in Oak Cliff in late March. The full program starts April 18 and include 18 weeks of learning fundamental golf skills along with valuable life skills.
In 2009 the NCAA reported that over 200 women’s golf scholarships went unused. Pink Tee Founder LoveVell Higgs explains the importance of girls learning the game, “It is so great to be able to offer this program for another year. Girls are able to be exposed to a game that is traditionally not offered in our communities. Golf is also a great way for young girls to earn college scholarships. Pink Tee is able to bring excitement to the game of golf and pique the interest of young girls”.
Early registration for Pink Tee will take place April 4 at Cedar Crest Golf Course from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. To find out more about Pink Tee go to their website pinkteegolf.com or contact LoveVell Higgs at 972-910-2476.
