BROOKFIELD (Feb. 25, 2026) – At First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin, we believe golf creates a powerful environment where youth in our community can learn and grow. Recently, we had the opportunity to bring that belief to life through a special junior golf event in partnership with Kappa League at PGA Tour Superstore.
From the moment the kids arrived, the afternoon was designed to be an experience. It started with something we think matters just as much as any swing tip: a conversation about growth. Participants dove into a lesson on growing through challenge, the idea that the obstacles we face on and off the course are often our greatest teachers. It set the tone for everything that followed.
Before picking up a club, the group got a full tour of PGA Tour Superstore. For many of the kids, it was their first time exploring a space dedicated entirely to the game, from equipment to apparel to training tools. Seeing golf through that lens has a way of making the sport feel more accessible, more exciting, and more like something that belongs to them.
Then it was time to play. Participants worked on their putting on the store’s putting green, learning the focus and feel that the short game demands. From there, they moved to the simulator for full swings, which created a high-energy experience that had everyone locked in and having fun. The afternoon wrapped up the right way: with pizza and good energy in the room. Moments like that, where young people are laughing, talking about their shots, and just being together, are a reminder of why community-based programming matters.
This event is a glimpse of what we are continuing to build at First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin. We are always looking for new ways to bring young people into the game and connect them with partners who share our vision.
