LPGA/USGA Girl's Golf
Provides an opportunity for girls, ages 7-17, to play the game of golf in a fun and supportive environment. Held on the first Tuesday of every month from 4:30-6:00.
Certification Process

The First Tee offers a Certification process, which enables participants to progress through the curriculum and move into higher levels of standing. This is done through written and practical applications of the Life Skills and Golf Skills that are taught in sessions. Certification begins at the PLAYer level, where all new participants over the age of 8 are enrolled. Upon reaching PLAYer certification, one may progress to Par, Birdie, Eagle, then Ace level. Once a participant has completed an 8-week session, s/he is eligible to attempt to certifiy to the next level. However, it is reasonable for participants to expect to attend at least two 8-week sessions before successfully completing their certification.

The First Tee Life Skills Experience is one of the unique features that differentiates The First Tee from many other successful junior golf programs.  Through the Life Skills Experience, participants learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences and how to define and set goals from the golf course to everyday life.
