There are so many people that make First Tee - GCNKY successful and impactful in our community. In 2024 we hosted our first Heart of First Tee Awards Banquet to celebrate all that is best about our community--our coaches, volunteers, teachers, and partners who supported our mission to Build Game Changers throughout the past year. We hope you will join us this year by registering today!

About the Tom & Melissa Briner Heart of First Tee - GCNKY Award

Alicia Yund, winner of the 2023-24 Tom & Melissa Briner Heart of First Tee-GCNKY Award

There are many words and contexts that describe a heart. Hearts are central, they are vital, and they are strong. Heartbeats are steady and a source of energy. People are the heartbeat of an organization. Those with big hearts are generous; they care, nurture, encourage, and inspire. Said more simply, they love. Those who embrace these qualities live out the essence of the mission every day. Tom and Melissa Briner have been the mission in action since founding our chapter in 2006. They are our heartbeat. The Tom & Melissa Briner Heart of First Tee GCNKY Award was established to recognize those who embody the ideals and commitment of the Briners to reach more children and positively impact their lives through the game of golf.

Awardees and guests are invited to attend with the Chapter's compliments.
