Meet Micaa’!
In honor of Women’s History Month we are highlighting women who have gone through First Tee – Greater Washington, D.C’s programming and still shine today.
Micaa’ Thomas is a distinguished First Tee – Greater Washington, D.C. alum who continuously illustrated the importance of our core value of perseverance daily; whether that is on or off the course.
“The core value of perseverance has been instrumental in my junior and collegiate golf careers. Perseverance today still plays a major role in furthering my professional development in golf.”
For years – Micaa’ took classes with First Tee. She still served as a role model for all the girls in our program. In (2014) Micaa played in the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach! Micaa’ and her PGA Tour Champions playing partner, Olin Browne finished in the Top 10, the top ever finish for our chapter in the event.
“The First Tee – Greater Washington DC has afforded me with the foundation and principles of success in life. The program continues to be an impactful influence in my golf aspirations. Mentorship and support from First Tee instructors and its corporate sponsors has been invaluable.”
