“Golf is a game that is playable almost your entire life. There’s camaraderie, good storytelling, competitiveness and perhaps best of all there’s no referee. You call the rules on yourself. To start this process with younger people gives them the basics of what life is all about including values like honesty and integrity. It's very much about human nature out there.”
“My wife and I are contributing $500,000 to First Tee — Central Ohio and we invite you, as supporters of the game of golf to join us in matching that gift. Tod and his wife Betsy have launched the Founders Level gift platform, which is $25,000 and above, and we hope you will make a Founders Level contribution to help us reach our overall goal."
- John B. McCoy,
National Trustee of First Tee and Central Ohio Native
