Stephanie Meadow was in action at the weekend on the highest possible stage playing in the US Women’s Open in California.
Instead of her normal wearing of the Immedis logo though she was promoting First Tee, an international youth development organisation that teaches life skills and helps kids and teens build their strength of character through golf.
Immedis, the Irish based global leader in consolidated payroll solutions and part of Clune Technology Group, took the decision without a second thought, even with the high profile of the event being broadcast coast to coast and around the world.
“All of us at Immedis are enormously proud to be able to raise awareness for First Tee and their fantastic, game-changing work, which reaches 3.4 million kids each year,” said Immedis CEO Ruairi Kelleher.
“Immedis and First Tee are united in the belief that golf is more than a game and we applaud their efforts to empower young people through golf.”
“I have been playing golf since I was seven years old,” added Meadow who joined Shane Lowry as an Immedis ambassador in 2020.
“The sport has given me so much – confidence, resilience, self-esteem. It has helped shape me as a person and I would not be who I am without it. I believe all boys and girls can learn a lot from golf if given the opportunity to play. That’s why I was so delighted to sport the First Tee logo this weekend.”
Since turning professional in 2014, Meadow has established herself as one of Ireland’s top golfers. Currently ranked 113th in the Women’s World Golf Rankings, she recently secured her best finish on the LPGA Tour when she finished 3rd at the Pelican Women’s Championship. She is currently on course to represent Ireland at this year’s Tokyo Olympics, having previously competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Immedis is committed to supporting its two ambassadors every step of the way. This collaboration with First Tee, an organization dedicated to empowering kids through golf, is an extension of that support.
Later this month, fellow Global Brand Ambassador Shane Lowry will also participate in the logo swap initiative and wear the First Tee logo at the U.S. Open.
Join us next week when we will be finding out from Stephanie Meadow some of the work that First Tee does and how she is preparing for Tokyo.
