Youngster's artwork of San Francisco golf nets $2,000 for First Tee program
The weather might have been dismal Monday evening during The First Tee of San Francisco’s Annual Awards Dinner, but it didn’t dampen the enthusiasm of bidders in a charity auction to benefit First Tee.
In my previous blog, I related the story of how 14-year-old Jessica Kent got to go to the Presidents Cup at Harding Park because she won the “Kids Fore Kids” art contest sponsored by KemperSports. Her piece was auctioned off yesterday.
Apparently, a rain storm came out of nowhere to make things a little uncomfortable at the dinner, but Kent’s work still brought in $2,000, courtesy of George Berridge of Bluewolf, a locally based software consulting firm.
The art contest encouraged kids to create an original piece of art that depicted their vision of “Golf in San Francisco.” Submissions, which were collected from The First Tee regional participants in California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and Alaska, were pared down to the top-10 finalists that were posted online during a two-week voting period.
Below is the winning entry. Enjoy.

The Accidental Golfer
The Accidental Golfer (AKA Mike Bailey) has spent more than 15 years writing about the game that has brought him unbridled joy and temporary bouts of insanity. Now on staff at WorldGolf.com, Bailey is a former senior editor for PGA Magazine, senior writer for Golfweek's SuperNEWS and Turfnet magazines and past president of the Texas Golf Writers Association. He has covered every facet of golf, including the PGA and LPGA Tours, equipment and course architecture, as well as the bane of his golfing existence: instruction. The last has led to at least 30 different golf swings, which all feel different but appear to his playing companions to be the same.
