The First Tee Life Skills Experience

Participants are taught to understand the meaning and application of The Nine Core Values™ in their daily lives using the game of golf as the platform for each lesson. The program focuses on the development of the individual as opposed to their proficiency for the game. Both the game of golf and the Life Skills experience program provide opportunities for self discovery and experiential learning in a fun environment where children can increase their potential for success.
