Trained coaches and staff at more than 200 Chapters of The First Tee offer a progression of lesson plans that create a fun and safe learning environment.  The curriculum fosters curiosity about the game of golf and teaches how the positive values inherent in the game can be used at home, in school and in other areas of everyday life.

The free program aims to positively impact children of Guardsmen and Reservists that reside in 200 civilian communities across America.

Over 7,800 volunteers, board members and coaches are engaged in teaching and mentoring participants of The First Tee.  Independent research findings since 2003 outline longitudinal evidence of the effectiveness of The First Tee life skills programs, and indicate that participants demonstrate desirable qualities such as confidence, character, judgment and perseverance over time.
