ABOUT FIRST TEE
The First Tee mission is to "impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character-development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf."
The First Tee is a World Golf Foundation initiative dedicated to providing young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character education, life-enhancing values such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship. The intent is to offer opportunities for improvement in the quality of life and create a platform where children can increase their potential for success. First Tee reaches youth ages 8-17. Indianapolis is one of four First Tee Chapters in Indiana (others located at English, Hammond, and Valparaiso.)
