Ladies on the Links Golf Tournament & Luncheon!
Every summer, something special happens on the fairways: women from across the Central Valley come together—not just to play a round of golf, but to change lives.
Now in its 12th year, Ladies on the Links is more than a tournament. It’s a heartfelt celebration of community, friendship, and the belief that every young person deserves a place to grow. Through laughter, shared stories, and a little friendly competition, we raise crucial support for First Tee – Central Valley’s youth programs—giving kids the confidence, character, and connection they need to thrive.
Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply showing up in support, this day is about something bigger than the game. It’s about standing together, shaping futures, and lifting up the next generation—one swing at a time.

Our Programs
Experiences are our greatest teacher. First Tee believes in developing the ones that are just as fun as they are meaningful, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail and better equipped for whatever comes their way. Through our golf-based personal growth programs, we see kids build life and leadership skills that empower them in all areas of life, including school, friendships and eventually careers.
Our coaches are the backbone of the program. Just watch our alumni coaches, like Sarah Ramsdell, who continue to give back to our chapter. She uses her past First Tee experience as a participant to lift up and encourage participants to become the best version of themselves.
In fact, all of our caring coaches strive to enhance the First Tee experience for participants, so that they enjoy learning important life and golf skills that keep them wanting more.
So, come join the fun experiences we have in store for kids and teens ages 5-17.
What makes First Tee different from most junior golf programs?
First Tee is a youth development organization that enables kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do. We’re Building Game Changers through our junior golf programs.
Get Involved
The success of First Tee-Central Valley rests in large part on the active involvement of adult and junior member volunteers. Our volunteers come from all segments of the community including educators, professionals, city employees and recreational golfers. Parents and active high school members also serve as coaches at clinics and as mentors by accompanying participants on rounds of golf and outings outside our structured clinics.
