Meet Our Partners

The Henry Durham Academy, the YMCA, Aquila Golf, and the City of Port Arthur are our Founding Partners. These diverse groups had enough vision to come together for the good of the youth in the Golden Triangle. They deserve the highest praise for their vision


Many other sponsors have since stepped up to help partner with our program.  Area Wal-Mart Stores, Valero, Inland Industrial Services, Altair Strickland and Turnaround Welding Services were our Platinum Sponsors in 2010.  Dozens of other organizations partnered to help 2010 be our best year ever.


The YMCA of Port Arthur is our "foundational" partnering organization. It is through the Y that we have paid staff, a place to meet and our 501(c)3 non-profit status. The YMCA's dedication to improving our community by improving our children is a big part of The First Tee of the Golden Triangle.

Please contact PGA Executive Director, Jerry Honza for more information. 409.719-3949 or jhonz@pga.com

The First Tee of the Golden Triangle has several local Affiliates. These partners are encouraging the junior golfers of today to be the leaders of tomorrow.  Please show your appreciation by using their facilities whenever possible, and tell them you appreciate their support of The First Tee of the Golden Triangle.
