TFTNH's Newest Site
This past spring an existing youth golf program in Claremont, NH, aptly named Dody’s Kids, became a part of our First Tee of New Hampshire family. Even though this was a thriving program in numbers of participants, they knew that their children would benefit immensely by integrating The First Tee’s qualitative delivery emphasized by our Core Values and Life Skills. Truly, the success of “Dody’s Kids” is because of a caring community that contributes in any way each can because they value their children and they believe that golf along with caring mentors delivering First Tee philosophy is a creative way to nurture their young people. Yes, and all the while having fun.
Dody Belski, the founder of Dody’s Kids, was a longtime advocate and teacher of youth golf in Claremont for several decades until her death in 2008. Not only did she teach many parents of the current participants, she was involved in the nurturing of successful LPGA Legends, Jane Blalock and Pat Bradley. Dody’s simple philosophy is: “Think on the putting green. Think on the driving range. Don’t Think on the golf course, just enjoy the game.” Impressed and inspired by Dody’s vision for keeping golf available and fun for children of all ages, Marie Allen Pitorino continued this program which now enlists 50 young golfers ranging in ages from 5-13, and the fee to play is free. Marie knows that any charge would restrict those who most need this program from participating. So our most heartfelt thanks go out to the generosity of an entire community which includes: volunteer coaches, several who are former Dody’s kids; Brian and Becky Stowell, whose support is both financial and as coaches; Claremont Country Club, who reserves the entire 9 holes for the kids when the program is there; and Peter Harris, who owns and operates Fore U golf center in West Lebanon (another First Tee of NH location). Peter hosts Dody’s kids every other Monday when they travel by bus in order to experience a different location teeming with fun golf activities.

CLUB DONATIONS TO SUPPORT TFTNH
The First Tee of NH is always looking for donations of quality, unwanted golf clubs. Youth or adult clubs in new or near-new condition are accepted. Iron sets from major manufacturers (Taylor Made, Ping, Titleist, Callaway, Mizuno, Cobra etc.) bring the most value. Drivers, fairway metals and hybrids are also of great value. Adult clubs are sold for cash to fund the programs. Youth clubs are supplied to participants who do not have clubs or are used in the teaching sessions.
Stop by our office to drop off clubs or just give us a call at 603-964-3033 to arrange for club drop off.
