St. Augustine, Fla. -- The First Tee has announced a two-year partnership with HAPi Golf in support of The First Tee’s mission to impact the lives of young people through character development and life-enhancing values associated with the game of golf.

HAPi Golf, a golf products company, manufactures ionized golf bracelets that replenish the body’s natural ionic balance and reduce stiffness while combating sports fatigue. Through the partnership, HAPi Golf will develop special-edition bracelets displaying The First Tee logo. The bracelets will be available in several colors and sold in retail stores and on www.hapigolf.com later this year.

“HAPi Golf supports the mission of The First Tee and is proud to have the opportunity to help introduce the game of golf and its values to the next generation of golfers through The First Tee Life Skills Experience,” said Andrew S. Hunt, founder of HAPi Golf. “HAPi Golf has found a 'hapi' home at The First Tee.”

In addition, HAPi Golf will be recognized as a Premier Corporate Partner of The First Tee for their charitable contributions to the organization.

“We are delighted to partner with an organization that promotes healthful products for active individuals,” stated Joe Louis Barrow, Jr., The First Tee executive director. “Through HAPi Golf’s charitable donations and in-store publicity, this unique partnership will benefit The First Tee on two important levels.”
