This season, every LaVergne High School golfer stepped onto the course with a complete set of clubs and bags thanks to a gift from First Tee.

The donation was made possible by Hannah Sudbury, senior program director of First Tee Nashville and a former LaVergne golfer herself. Sudbury said it was meaningful to give back to the program that first sparked her love of the game and to help today’s students enjoy the same opportunity.

“This support ensures our students can compete without financial barriers,” LaVergne High golf coach Seth Jones said. “Without First Tee, we would not have a golf season.”
