The
First Tee was founded in 1997 to promote positive youth development
through the game of golf. The First Tee
is an international youth development organization introducing the game of golf
and its inherent values to young people. The First Tee curriculum is helping to
shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by reinforcing values
like integrity, respect and perseverance through the game of golf. And it’s
making a difference. These research-proven programs are having a positive
impact on participants, their families and their communities.
Through
demonstrative implementation of the Nine Core Values and Nine Healthy Habits,
The First Tee teaches Golf and Life Skills to each participant. Each class module exposes the participants to
a core value lesson, such as integrity, respect or courtesy, thus building
character in young people through the game of golf. The First Tee of New Hampshire's program
offers unique and fun learning opportunities for young people from ages 5 to
17. The program utilizes the unique game of golf, and its core values and
traditions, to teach leadership and life skills to young people of all
backgrounds.
