Class Cancellations or Missed Class Policy
We will try to hold classes rain or shine, but classes may be cancelled due to inclement weather or unsafe conditions. There are no refunds for cancelled classes. If your class was cancelled or your child cannot attend a class, we can not have them attend a different class since our classes reach their max capacity. If more than two classes are cancelled, we will make every effort to make up one of those classes but this is not guaranteed.
Please note, First Tee is a national organization founded on the principal of making a golf program that is affordable and inclusive. Only 25% of our program cost is covered by participant registration fees. Our Chapter funds the remainder of this cost to help make this an affordable golf program. Financial aid is always available.
