First Tee – Colorado Rocky Mountains hosts multiple Denver golf tournaments throughout the year, catering to a wide range of golfers. Singles and foursomes can enjoy a fun day of golf at the City Park Alliance Tournaments, and/or participate in our Triple Play Tournament in the fall. Additionally, Players’ Club Tournaments are open to our junior golfers who are looking to take their skills to the next level.
City Park Alliance Tournament
The City Park Alliance (CPA) is a nonprofit organization that has a mission to protect and enhance the park experience for everyone. Each summer, in partnership with First Tee, the CPA puts on a golf tournament to raise funds for the park where many of our programs take place throughout the year. Singles and foursomes can participate in this fun event for a great cause.
The Triple Play Fundraising Tournament
First Tee – Colorado Rocky Mountains relies on donations from sponsors to achieve our mission of making golf more accessible for kids. One of the primary advantages of First Tee is the direct assistance it gets from some of the most well-known and powerful organizations in the game. The Triple Play Denver golf tournament is an incredible event that allows competitive golfers to contribute to the First Tee. These contributions directly aid junior golfers’ participation in our golf programs.
Players’ Club Tournaments
Our junior Players’ Club golf tournaments offer the unique opportunity for kids to compete in a team setting. Each week, kids have the opportunity to play on the course in a tournament setting, allowing them to develop their golf skills and learn the rules of the game. The program also emphasizes core values such as sportsmanship and integrity. At the end of the summer, we hold an awards banquet to recognize the hard work of all participants, with prizes awarded to the top teams and individuals.
Prepping for a Golf Tournament
Preparing for a golf tournament is not just about practicing your swing. It involves mental preparation, physical conditioning, and strategic planning. To mentally prepare for a tournament, you need to visualize yourself playing well and focus on positive thoughts. You may want to develop a pre-shot routine to help you stay focused and calm during the game.
Physically, being in good shape is the key to playing your best golf game. Strategically, it’s a good idea to study the course and plan your game accordingly. This includes knowing the distances of each hole, understanding the terrain and hazards, and developing a game plan for each shot. Lastly, don’t forget to pack all the necessary equipment and supplies, including clubs, balls, tees, sunscreen, and water. And most importantly, remember to have fun and enjoy the experience!
