The First Tee is an international youth development program that has a facility at Harbor Shores Golf Club in Benton Harbor that introduces the game of golf and its inherent values to young people. Through after school and in school programs, they help shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by reinforcing values like integrity and respect. Gordy talks to Ebon Sanders, and takes a couple of swings on the golf simulator. (275 yards, but just a little off the fairway- nice try, Gordo!) http://www.thefirstteebentonharbor.org/club/scripts/public/public.aspGuests
