In Memory of Frank Pelitere


The First Tee – Greater New Orleans mourns the loss of Frank Pelitere, a beloved figure in the golf community. We will forever be grateful for Frank’s passion and dedication to the game of golf.

“A passionate golfer, Frank was deeply involved in all aspects of the game. He appreciated its history, reveled in the practice, enjoyed coaching others, and loved playing whenever he could. His weekly golf game with his friends, including his favorite golfing buddy Andrew, as well as additional rounds with family, the Jesuit Golf Team, or new acquaintances at the club, were highlights of his life.”
