The First Tee is an aged based experience. Participants progress through the program over time, deepening their understanding of life skills and golf development.

More information can be found in the "Parents' Guide to the First Tee" , and juniors will be asked to demonstrate life skills outside of the golf course with parent involvement. You can learn more about the First Tee Life Skills Experience HERE or our chapter website at www.FirstTeeSouthDakota.org. You can also check our Junior Progressive Golf System Scorecard!
