Why Golf?

Experiences are our greatest teacher. First Tee believes in developing the ones that are just as fun as they are meaningful, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next. Through our personal growth and junior golf programs, we see kids’ build self confidence, inspiring more active participation in leadership opportunities and events, community involvement, and college scholarships.

Community Program

We partner with youth centers like the Cincinnati Recreation Commission 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.

We believe in working together with other youth development organizations in our community. By partnering with organizations such as Special Olympics of Hamilton County, A Kid Again and SCRATCHgolf we are able to bring our curriculum to the kids in their programs. These partnerships allows us to continue exposing the youth in our community to a game they may not otherwise have had the opportunity to try. And on top of learning golf, our curriculum enables kids to build the strength of character that will empower them through a lifetime of new challenges.
