What is The First Tee? The First Tee is a part of the World Golf Foundation and is supported by all the major golf organizations in the country (PGA, PGA Tour, LPGA, USGA, and The Masters). There are over 200 The First Tee Chapters around the US and in six foreign countries. The First Tee has reached over 4.7 million kids since 1997. What’s so special about The First Tee? The First Tee is a junior golf program with a difference! Like all other junior golf programs, kids have FUN while learning how to play golf by the rules. The First Tee goes one important step further by including a Life Skills curriculum. What are Life Skills? Life Skills are just that: A set of skills that help kids learn golf more easily, but can also be used away from the golf course at home, school or in social situations. How do the instructors teach Life Skills? Life and Golf Skills are taught in a seamless fashion during the course of a regular golf class. So learning Life Skills is just another part of the FUN. Has The First Tee been successful? YES! Research conducted by the Universities of Nevada - Las Vegas and Florida found that First Tee participants increased their knowledge of these important Life Skills, Additionally, 74% of The First Tee parents found their children showed an increase in their confidence as well as positive changes in communication skills and responsibility, 66% saw an increase in social skills and 52% noted improved grades. Additional research conducted by The University of Virginia in 2005 shows that 70-100% young people use Life Skills away from the course (percentage is dependent on the specific Life Skill). How does the Greater Kansas City Chapter compare to others? Greater Kansas City is one of the largest The First Tee chapters, with 10 in-school and programming facilities and in excess of 2,600 kids served in 2016.

Golfers at the PLAYer level will generally need to complete approximately 30 hours of instruction plus certification to advance to the PAR level. PLAYers are exposed to the game of golf through purposeful play that helps them understand “what to do” before “how to do it”. Golf Skills Progression • Develop skills from the green back (putting >short-game>full-swing) • Modify games/activities to match skill progression by: • Using introductory golf equipment • Using larger, softer balls • Making targets larger & moving closer • Explore the same general skills across levels, but more in-depth as players progress • Target-oriented • Golf equipment • Pre-swing • Distance-control • Balance • Impact • Trajectory • Curvature The First Tee Program The First Tee - Par Level Golfers eligible for the PAR level must be at least 9 years of age by the start of their first class and will have completed 30 hours of instruction plus certification at the PLAYER level.
