Kate Meier, a recent Loyola University graduate, joined First Tee – Greater Chicago as a coach at Waveland Youth Facility this summer. Having started golf at age three, Kate has since demonstrated leadership and dedication to the sport throughout her years committed to the green. This summer, she is transitioning from her competitive collegiate play to give back to the golf community she, too, was once a beginner in.
“Seeing the smile on a kid’s face after they have learned a new skill or shot is everything to me.”
Kate hopes to inspire the next generation of golfers through golf and life skills. Having played throughout her time at Loyola, she has quite the skill set to offer our First Tee participants.
“It is so rewarding to grow with these kids as they gain new skills both on and off the course!”
Kate’s commitment to First Tee – Greater Chicago has been unwavering. She has provided us with countless smiles and a radiant energy throughout this whole summer. We are so lucky to have her on our team!
