The incredible impact The First Tee is having on young people is possible because of the extraordinary investment made by individuals like you.

The First Tee has brought the game of golf, its positive values and character education to more than 3.5 million young people since our inception in 1997. Over the next five years we want to more than double that number.

It is an ambitious goal, but one we can accomplish with your help.

Maintaining the quality of the experience that each young person receives is a top priority for us.

"In all, I feel perseverance serves as the foundation for all the core values The First Tee has to offer. Without the will to persevere, how can one be strong? In order to succeed, one must fail many times. My failures do not define me, but yet I am defined by my perseverance to be a positive contribution to society."

- Participant, The First Tee of Atlanta

"Being in The First Tee program for three years, I have watched my daughter not only become a better golfer but more importantly a finer, caring young lady. Watching her as she greets new people with a self-assured smile and firm handshake gives me great satisfaction. I know the program has also done a fabulous job when I see Samantha treat everyone she comes in contact with in a friendly, willing to get to know attitude no matter who they are. Thank you The First Tee for giving me a good golf partner and a daughter who makes me proud every day."

- Renee Guilbault, Parent from The First Tee of Myrtle Beach
