Empowering girls through the game of golf and inspiring them to dream BIG!

LPGA*USGA Girls Golf at First Tee
LPGA*USGA Girls Golf Program at First Tee — Greater Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky is a great way to introduce girls to the game of golf in a fun atmosphere surrounded by new friends! Our goal is to empower the girls to be confident, have positive self-esteem and live active and healthy lives, while learning or perfecting a game they can play for a long time. Our Girls Golf Coach Team includes female mentors who guide the girls through fun activities designed to enhance their golf and leadership skills.
Along with our core First Tee lessons, Girls Golf participants will gain a deeper understanding of The Five E’s of LPGA*USGA Girls Golf:
1. Empower
We pride ourselves in connecting our members with teachers who can take them from beginner to advanced players and who are passionate about sharing the game they love. By helping girls develop their skills on the golf course, we empower them with confidence off the course too!
2. Enrich
Through our connection with the USGA, Girls Golf members gain a deeper understanding of the rules, history, and science behind the game of golf. Girls Golf members who aspire to compete in college or at a professional level are also connected with resources and education to help them reach their goals.
3. Engage
For parents looking for role models for their young girls, they can feel confident in those provided by the LPGA. Girls Golf is the only national youth organization with a direct connection to the players on the LPGA and Symetra Tours. By connecting girls with women, they can aspire to reach greater heights and learn how to work towards these goals. Girls Golf sites also partner with the 5 members of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professionals, who are passionate about inspiring girls to achieve and serve as instructors and mentors for girls across the country.
4. Energize
We strive to teach and retain young girls in the game by looking for THEIR points of entry into learning and enjoying the sport, which sometimes means putting down the 7-iron and creating time for fun games and activities that catch their attention.
5. Exercise
Girls Golf sites not only provide an opportunity for physical exercise, but also incorporate fitness and nutrition education into their programming and promote an active and healthy lifestyle.
