PXG New Rochelle 'First Tee' Event Teaches Lessons Beyond The Links

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A Mecca for golfers set its sites on building a love of the sport among the next generation, and the effort had an impact that helped teach lessons that will last a lifetime, both at the tees and in life.

PXG New Rochelle, a storied golf equipment and apparel retailer, hosted a Veterans Day event with First Tee, a renowned youth development organization. Over 60 students from all around Westchester County, ranging in age from 6 to 15, participated in the gathering.

Organizers say that the event was an opportunity for youngsters to receive personalized fittings and instruction from PXG’s expert staff, with the highlight of the event being the presence of 2nd Lieutenant Marshall Daniel, a former golf player for West Point who now serves as the graduate assistant coach. Lt. Daniel shared his experiences from both his time at West Point and his journey in the world of golf, offering inspiration and insights to the children.

First Tee, which has built a reputation for integrating golf with a life skills curriculum, provided an enriching experience for the children. PXG and First Tee say that their collaboration shows the synergy between sports and character-building, focusing on the role of golf in building self-confidence and inner strength in young minds.

"We are thrilled with the turnout and the impact this event has had on the community," Jason Tomlinson, Retail Store Manager at PXG New Rochelle, said. "Partnering with First Tee aligns perfectly with our mission to support the growth and development of young golfers, both on and off the course."

The Veterans Day event highlighted the growing interest in golf among younger athletes as well as the importance of sports in holistic development. The two companies say they are proud to have created an environment where children can learn, grow, and be inspired.
