Our Mission:
To impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enchacing values through the game of golf.
First Tee Levels
PLAYer/Par:
Tee It Up! After going over the basics of putting, pitching and chipping we put the PLAYers out on Short Ridge (almost right away) to let them discover what they do well and where practice is needed. Showing respect for others and confidence-building is a big focus.
PAR:
This level continues building confidence through Meeting and Greeting others while using A-L-R (Ask Listen and Respond) We also cover respecting the rules, ways to keep your cool and having fun while learning something new.
Birdie:
We're taking TFT PLAYers to the next level by stating (positively) Goals and Dreams that are important to them and helping them decide which goal or dream is "realistic" both on and off the golf course. The focus here: "the journey (process) is as important as the destination (outcome) - and how to have fun on the journey.
Parent Class:
Curious about what your First Tee child is learning? Want to sharpen your own golf skills? This is the class for you. We use the same language and introduce the same skills so you're on the "same page" as your kids.
Open Skills:
Free session, open to all participants currently enrolled. This is "extra swing time" for PLAYers looking to improve their game. Same rules apply regarding starting on-time, respecting others while building confidence and for many learning how much fun golf is.
