For 25 years, Tom Watson’s Day For Kids Golf Tournament has raised funds to ensure that young people have the opportunity to learn to play – and love – golf. On August 28th, First Tee Greater Kansas City hosted the event, which was held at Loch Lloyd Country Club. A VIP breakfast, Tom Watson Clinic, four-person scramble, and Watson Tribute Dinner were among the highlights of the festivities. Participants were delighted to have the experience of playing one hole with Tom and receiving an autographed team photo.
