Why Golf?

First Tee uses golf to teach youth life lessons and leadership skills. Sessions include a fun, group setting for youth ages 7 to 18 regardless of background or previous experience. Teaming up with experts in positive youth development, First Tee helps youth become good golfers and even better people.

Community Program

We partner with youth centres like the YMCA and Boys and Girls Club to bring the program to life and introduce golf using games that are flexible to the ages and abilities of the kids involved.

Objectives

  • Engage young people in fun, safe activities that promote wellness and health-enhancing lifestyles.
  • Develop appreciation for the positive values associated with golf through each activity and extend those behaviours to other areas of their lives.
  • Enable youth leaders to introduce golf using modified sports and games in ways that fit the ages and abilities of the young people in their care.
