First Tee student learns from Masters trip

Sarah McDonald’s first trip to the Masters Tourna­ment was a lesson in improving her golf game.

The Augusta 14-year-old was one of six participants from the First Tee of Augusta attending Friday’s second round. She watched intently as Jordan Spieth hit his tee shot on No. 1.

“He didn’t look very nervous. And his pre-routine was pretty cool,” she said.

Learning a routine before swinging a club is one of the techniques Sarah has focused on at the First Tee. Her Masters experience will help her when she returns to golf lessons, she said.

“It will motivate me to try to play my best so maybe one day I can be in this,” she said.

Sarah and two other First Tee students wearing green hats were whisked out of the gallery to stand in the front row behind the ropes as Spieth began his round.

“It is a sport that you could play for the rest of your life,” she said.
