“My son now goes up to every single one of his coaches, thanks them, and shakes their hand after every practice. This is not just with the First Tee, but also his soccer team. He has learned to value the fact that his coaches choose to be there with him every week and appreciates it.”

“Mia’s interest in golf sky rocketed since starting the program. She enjoys the lessons, camps and the mentors/coaches involved. I believe the fun but educational atmosphere has improved her fundamentals. Seeing the results of practicing and listening I believe is a big part of why her interest in golf has risen so much.”

“Our daughter was very young when she started First Tee. She wanted to golf like Papa and her brother. After one season she started losing interest in the game and getting to class was a bit of a struggle. However, when she got there she always had so much fun and gained immense confidence weekly. She soon looked forward to going again. She now fits it in amongst many other activities. She is excelling at golf and will have a life long skill to enjoy.”

“With the people and relationships and practice regiment she learned at First Tee it has helped her gain more confidence. That confidence translated into her having success with her marching band experiences and becoming a key participant in the color guard. It all started with her experiences at First Tee”
