Can't say enough about the youth clinic today at @29casino with @NotahBegay3 sharing golf and life lessons to local Native American boys and girls. This is what growing the game and making a difference looks like. @KESQ @GalleriClassic pic.twitter.com/LUwNaahtVW

The 52-year-old shared some golf lessons but also offered life advice, encouraging kids to chase their dreams and become positive members of society.
The clinic was made possible with assistance from First Tee Coachella Valley.
