Put Your Old Golf Balls to Work

Most golfers have a bag of used balls sitting in the garage, a sleeve from last season, a bucket of mismatched finds from the rough. Now there’s an easy way to turn that clutter into something meaningful.

First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin has partnered with BreakfastBalls.Golf as our Official Used Golf Ball Recycling Partner, giving donated golf balls a second life while generating proceeds that come back to support youth programming right here in Southeast Wisconsin.

How it works is simple. Drop off your used golf balls at any of our equipment donation locations. Our program participants get first access to what they need, so every kid we serve is equipped to play. Surplus inventory is then purchased in bulk by BreakfastBalls.Golf, with proceeds coming back to support our youth programming across Southeast Wisconsin.

And if you’re in the market for quality used golf balls yourself, use promo code FTSEW10 at checkout on BreakfastBalls.Golf for 10% off your purchase.

To donate used golf balls, find a drop-off location near you here or learn more about BreakfastBalls.Golf here.

Golf in Wisconsin Is More Than a Game

Here’s the Data to Prove It.

If you’ve spent any time around a golf course in Wisconsin, you already know something the numbers are now confirming: this sport runs deep in this state. It’s in the municipal layouts tucked into neighborhood parks, the historic courses where generations of families have played, the tournaments that draw visitors from across the country, and the charity scrambles that raise millions for local causes every year.

This week, the Wisconsin Golf Alliance released a comprehensive statewide economic impact study, and the findings are striking. Wisconsin golf generates $6.44 billion in total economic impact, supports 56,595 jobs, contributes $2 billion in wages, and returns $288 million in state and local taxes. Those numbers represent real livelihoods and real community investment across every corner of the state.

For context, the study notes that Wisconsin’s golf industry outpaces the combined economic contributions of craft beer, wine, local spirits, and Packers home games, sectors that most people would immediately associate with Wisconsin’s identity. Golf belongs in that conversation too, and this study makes that case clearly.

What the Numbers Mean for Youth Development

At First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin, we spend a lot of time talking about what golf does for young people. We know, from the kids we work with every day, that the game teaches patience, accountability, respect, and resilience in ways that carry far beyond the course. But the economic impact study also shows what golf does for young people in a broader, structural sense.

According to the study, 97% of surveyed Wisconsin golf facilities support at least one youth development program. That includes junior golf, scholastic golf, and First Tee programs across the state. More than 30 Wisconsin courses participate in Youth on Course through the Wisconsin State Golf Association, offering rounds for $5 or less to junior golfers statewide.

These aren’t small gestures. They represent a coordinated, industry-wide commitment to keeping the game accessible and to investing in the next generation of players and community members.

Charitable Giving at Scale

One of the most remarkable data points in the study is this: Wisconsin golf facilities hosted more than 9,000 charitable events in 2023, raising $166 million for local nonprofits. Every single surveyed facility hosted at least one charitable event. The golf course has long served as a venue for community fundraising, and that function is now documented at a scale most people probably hadn’t considered.

Those dollars flow to youth development organizations, conservation groups, healthcare nonprofits, schools, veterans initiatives, and many others. First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin is proud to be among the beneficiaries of golf’s charitable culture in this state, and we take seriously our responsibility to put those resources to work for young people.

A Sport That Is Genuinely Accessible

One of the most common barriers people cite when it comes to golf is cost. The study offers some helpful context: 55% of Wisconsin’s public golf facilities charge under $50 per round, and 87% of all facilities are open to the public. The picture of golf as an elite or exclusionary sport does not match the reality of how most people in Wisconsin actually experience the game.

Our programs at First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin are designed with accessibility at their core. Scholarships are available, and we partner to operate programs at Noyes Park, Lake Park, Brown Deer Park, Dretzka Park, Currie Park, Rolling Meadows, and Washington Park, all public courses that are woven into the fabric of their communities. We want every young person in Southeast Wisconsin to have a genuine pathway into the game.

What This Means for Us

We are a small organization with a big mission. We use golf to teach life skills and character development to young people ages 4 to 18. We couldn’t do that work without the golf community around us, and this study is a reminder of just how substantial that community is.

The $6.44 billion figure reflects the collective investment of course operators, equipment retailers, tourism businesses, tournament organizers, and charitable donors. It reflects the volunteers who show up to coach, the businesses that sponsor events, and the families who prioritize the game as part of how they spend time together. We are grateful to be part of that ecosystem.

If you’d like to support First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin, or if you’re interested in learning more about our programs, we’d love to hear from you. And if you haven’t had a chance to read the Wisconsin Golf Economic Impact Report, it’s worth your time. The full executive summary is available through the Wisconsin Golf Alliance.

First Tee Joins National Alliance to Get More Kids Playing Sports

First Tee partners with PGA of America and Youth on Course to support Project Play’s 63×30 initiative

First Tee has joined the PGA of America and Youth on Course in a groundbreaking alliance to support Project Play’s 63×30 initiative, a national movement to increase youth sports participation to 63% by 2030.

The collaboration addresses a concerning trend: only 55% of children ages 6-17 in the U.S. currently play organized sports, down from 58% in 2017. The three organizations will work together to elevate youth sports participation through golf by removing barriers that prevent access to the game and promoting quality sports experiences for all young people.

“While First Tee’s mission is to help young people build character through golf, development of the game of golf has always been an important byproduct of our work,” said Greg McLaughlin, CEO of First Tee. “Aspen Institute’s Project Play is engaging an array of organizations involved in youth sports to work together. First Tee is proud to come alongside PGA of America and Youth on Course to support this initiative.”

Why Youth Sports Matter

Research shows that achieving 63% participation could deliver more than 1.8 million Quality Years of Life and generate $80 billion in societal benefits through reduced medical costs and increased worker productivity. Beyond the numbers, sports participation helps young people develop physical health, social-emotional skills, character strengths, and a sense of belonging.

“The benefits of youth playing sports are immense, for their own development, and our society as a whole,” said Adam Heieck, CEO of Youth on Course. “We have a collective responsibility in golf, to ensure our sport is accessible for any kid who wants to play, and that’s what this collaboration is about.”

A Framework for Quality Youth Sports

As part of this commitment, First Tee has endorsed the Children’s Bill of Rights in Sports, joining more than 500 organizations in supporting standards for youth sports that include safe environments, qualified coaches, and developmentally appropriate activities. This framework aligns with First Tee’s commitment to positive youth development and reinforces the organization’s focus on creating quality experiences for young people.

“Golf is showing what it means to be a team sport,” said Tom Farrey, executive director of the Aspen Institute’s Sports & Society program. “Leading organizations are working together in service of youth, creating a common language and set of aligned activities that holds the key to getting and keeping more kids in the game.”

What This Means Locally

As a First Tee chapter, First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin is proud to be part of this national effort. The partnership validates the work our organization does every day throughout the region to make golf accessible and use it as a vehicle for positive youth development.

The collaboration positions First Tee as part of a larger movement and may create new opportunities for partnerships with schools, community organizations, and funders who share the goal of increasing quality youth sports participation.

About Project Play

Project Play is the flagship initiative of the Aspen Institute’s Sports & Society Program. Since 2017, it has engaged a cross-sector roundtable of leading organizations committed to getting and keeping children active through sports. Through research and community engagement, Project Play provides tools and resources so every child in America can access quality sports opportunities.

The 63×30 initiative takes its name from the national public health goal established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to achieve 63% youth sports participation by 2030.

Why This Matters

For more than 20 years, First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin has been passionate about providing opportunities that enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids can carry to everything they do.

But we can only do this work with sustained support from people who believe in our mission. Monthly donors provide the foundation that allows us to focus on what matters most: teaching integrity, respect, confidence, responsibility, and perseverance to young people across our community.

Join Us on December 2

This Giving Tuesday, we’re not asking for the biggest gift. We’re asking for the most meaningful one. A commitment to show up month after month, to invest consistently in character development, to be part of a community that believes in the power of the next generation.

Will you be one of our eighteen Game Changers?

Not ready for monthly giving? You can still support our mission with a one-time gift on Giving Tuesday or any day of the year. Every contribution helps us serve more kids and build more character.

Follow along on December 2 as we track our progress throughout the day. We’ll be updating our scorecard on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X as we work to complete the course.

Meet Coach Tom Gerke: Building Game Changers Through Golf Experience

Drawing on decades of professional golf instruction experience, Coach Tom provides individual attention that helps participants not just improve their swing, but develop the patience and focus that will serve them well beyond the golf course.

At First Tee, we believe that character is what you bring to everything you do. It’s what allows you to walk away from failure determined, not defeated. This philosophy comes to life through the dedicated professionals who guide our young people, and there’s no better example than our Program Director, Tom Gerke, PGA.

Tom’s journey in golf began as a caddie at Tripoli Country Club in Milwaukee, where he discovered not just a passion for the game, but a calling to share it with others. From those early days carrying bags, he worked his way through the pro shop while attending UW-Milwaukee, eventually deciding that golf was the industry where he wanted to make his mark.

A Path Built on Excellence and Experience

Tom’s career trajectory reads like a masterclass in golf education. He climbed the ladder from assistant professional to managing entire golf course operations, but his true expertise emerged in academy settings where he led teams of instructors. His role wasn’t just about teaching golf—it was about teaching others how to teach, ensuring consistency, and creating successful learning experiences.

This expertise took him internationally when he worked with LPGA legend Lorena Ochoa in Mexico. Tom wrote comprehensive teaching manuals in both English and Spanish, opened academies across the country, and trained staff at resorts and country clubs. The experience of working at the professional level with Ochoa gave him invaluable insights into how elite athletes think compared to recreational golfers—knowledge he now brings to every First Tee session.

More Than Just Golf Instruction

What sets Tom apart isn’t just his technical knowledge as a PGA Professional—it’s his understanding that great golf instruction must be accessible, fun, and meaningful. His coaching philosophy is refreshingly simple: keep it understandable, make it enjoyable, and help kids interact rather than just listen.

“So much golf instruction is very complicated,” Tom explains. “I want them to understand it, because if they understand it, they’ll do it—not just because Coach Tom says to move their arms a certain way, but because it makes sense to them.”

This approach aligns perfectly with First Tee’s mission. Tom recognizes that the life skills we teach through golf—dealing with frustration, handling disappointment, bouncing back from setbacks—are exactly what make both golf and life easier to navigate.

Coach Tom works one-on-one with a participant, demonstrating the personalized attention that helps kids build confidence both on and off the course.

Real Impact, Real Stories

The true measure of Tom’s success isn’t found in swing mechanics or handicap improvements—though those certainly happen. It’s in the stories of transformation that parents share, seeing differences in their children’s behavior from week one to week nine, year after year.

One story particularly stands out: a young participant who was with First Tee for five years before taking a break from golf. When this student faced challenges in high school, including bullying, his mother’s first instinct was to bring him back to First Tee. She knew the organization and trusted what Tom and the team could provide.

“He had anger issues and couldn’t deal with a lot of stuff,” Tom recalls. “But when he was in a positive environment, he changed and got better. His mom realized that First Tee was a very good option for him to get back on track.”

This is the power of what we do—creating environments where young people feel safe to fail, excited to grow, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next.

A Vision for Southeast Wisconsin

Tom’s background—understanding what it’s like when opportunities aren’t readily available, working in diverse organizations across different locations and with various clientele—gives him a unique understanding of the communities we serve. He knows firsthand how important it is to create accessible pathways for young people, making organizations like First Tee even more crucial.

His goal is ambitious but achievable: to make First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin the region’s best option for junior golf, recognized for the quality of our coaches, the engagement of our participants, and our reputation both locally and within the First Tee national network.

Program Director Tom Gerke shares instruction with participants at the driving range, emphasizing his philosophy of making golf understandable and fun for young learners.

Building Character, One Swing at a Time

Tom’s journey from caddie to Program Director reflects the same character-building principles we teach our participants. He understands that golf is a metaphor for life—full of unexpected challenges where progress requires self-reliance and how you choose to respond defines who you are.

Under Tom’s leadership, our participants aren’t just learning golf; they’re discovering what’s inside themselves and strengthening it. They’re building the inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that will serve them well beyond the golf course.

That’s what makes Tom Gerke more than just a golf instructor—he’s a mentor helping young people write their personal growth stories, one lesson at a time.

Bank of America Golf With Us Clinic Brings Joy and Life Lessons to Young Athletes

What happens when you combine over 50 eager young golfers, professional instruction, and a Green Bay Packers legend? Pure magic at Brown Deer Park Golf Course.

The Bank of America Golf With Us Clinic in partnership with Youth on Course created an incredible learning environment where kids ages 8-12 from the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, Youth on Course, and First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin came together for an unforgettable experience that perfectly embodied our mission of building character through golf.

Learning from the Best

Under the expert guidance of Brown Deer Park Golf Course Head Golf Professional Scott Walecki and his assistant professionals, participants received hands-on instruction that focused on both golf fundamentals and life skills. The evening struck the perfect balance between technical learning and pure fun, creating an environment where kids felt excited to grow and safe to fail.

A Special Guest with Heart

Former Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby brought his championship spirit to the clinic, spending time with each participant and sharing valuable life lessons alongside golf tips. His genuine enthusiasm for the event was evident as he reflected on the experience:

“Just seeing these kids, some of them who have never really even picked up a golf club, and when they hit one in the air or even just get it going forward, the excitement in their eyes reflects the joy this can be,” Crosby shared. “The camaraderie felt like a team atmosphere. Everybody was encouraging each other, trying to be a part of something bigger than just themselves. It was a special event. It was awesome to be a part of it.”

When asked what message he wanted to leave with the kids, Crosby offered wisdom that extends far beyond golf: “You’re going to miss putts. You’re going to have mistakes in life. Things are going to happen, but just don’t let those moments keep you from that next awesome opportunity. Don’t let your misses keep you from your makes.”

Focused and engaged — participants look on as they sink a putt. Moments like these showcase the teamwork and support that make the game so powerful. [Courtesy of Bank of America/Lindsay Stayton Photography]

Partnership with Purpose

In 2025, Bank of America launched Golf With Us in partnership with Youth on Course to help make golf more accessible. The Bank of America Golf With Us clinics encourage youth to find out what’s possible in golf and in life – learning important golf skills and life skills from top golf and celebrity talent. “Wisconsin is a key expansion market for Bank of America and we are thrilled to host one of our exclusive clinics here in Milwaukee,” said Drew Slocum, President, Bank of America Wisconsin. “By working with Youth on Course and First Tee to help make golf more accessible, we’re helping grow the sport while also making a positive impact in our community.”

Growing the Game Nationwide

As part of the partnership, Bank of America is funding course expansion, free Youth on Course memberships for kids around the nation, and instructional clinics in select markets to expose the next generation to the game of golf. Participants also receive a free one-year membership to Youth on Course via Golf With Us, allowing continued access to play golf for $5 or less at thousands of courses nationwide. So far more than 75,000 youth have signed up for a free Youth on Course membership provided by Bank of America.

More Than Golf

True to First Tee’s approach, the clinic focused on the deeper side of golf rather than just technical skills. Participants experienced active learning that builds inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience – qualities they’ll carry with them far beyond the clinic. Each participant also received a complimentary golf kit to continue their journey with the game. The evening concluded with dinner, allowing kids to connect with new friends and reflect on their experiences.

Building Tomorrow’s Game Changers

Events like this remind us why our work matters. In a world where kids face increasing pressures and challenges, we create spaces where they can discover what’s inside of them, strengthen it, and put it into action. Every swing, every encouraging word, and every moment of joy during the clinic contributes to building the strength of character that will empower these young people through a lifetime of new challenges.

The smiles, laughter, and determined faces captured throughout the evening tell the real story – we’re not just building better golfers, we’re building game changers.

Empowering young athletes: MPS girls’ golf teams attend special clinic at Noyes Park

At First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin, we believe that golf is more than just a game. It’s a powerful tool to empower youth, build confidence, and teach valuable life skills. This mission was brought to life once again during a special clinic we hosted at Noyes Park Golf Course for five girls’ golf teams from Milwaukee Public Schools’ Milwaukee City Conference. 

This past Wednesday evening, student-athletes and coaches from Rufus King High School, Riverside High School, Vincent High School, Milwaukee School of Languages, and Golda Meir High School gathered to learn from our team and further develop their golf games. The players spent time on the driving range, receiving personalized instruction from our experienced First Tee coaches, while their coaches learned new techniques and strategies from Tom Gerke, our Program Director and PGA Professional.

Tom’s session with the coaches focused on refining their instructional methods, helping them to better support their athletes as they grow in the game. The coaches walked away with fresh insights on how to teach key skills, promote teamwork, and encourage their players with positivity and a growth mindset.

Meanwhile, the girls were fully immersed in practicing their swings on the driving range. From beginners to more experienced players, each athlete had the chance to improve her game while receiving valuable tips from First Tee — Southeast Wisconsin’s expert coaches. Watching the players engage and embrace the learning process was truly inspiring. Their dedication and enthusiasm are a testament to the bright future of girls’ golf in Milwaukee.
