Why Golf?

Experiences are our greatest teacher. First Tee believes in developing the ones that are just as fun as they are meaningful, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next. Through our personal growth and junior golf programs, we see kids’ build self confidence, inspiring more active participation in leadership opportunities and events, community involvement, and college scholarships.

At First Tee – Southeast Wisconsin, we’re Building Game Changers by empowering young people to grow on the golf course and in life.

By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with character-building, we create learning experiences that help kids and teens to show up stronger in everything they set out to do. Our trained coaches not only introduce and strengthen golf skills, but also foster a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment where participants feel challenged, connected, and inspired.

Through our program, participants learn skills that last a lifetime:

Understanding and managing emotions
Resolving conflicts
Setting and achieving goals
Planning for the future
Building friendships and teamwork
Golf instruction from fundamentals to confident play

Progression in the Program
At every level, participants engage with First Tee’s 5 Key Commitments:

Pursuing Goals
Growing through Challenge
Collaborating with Others
Building Positive Self-Identity
Using Good Judgment

As participants advance, they deepen their understanding of these commitments while developing a strong foundation of golf skills. No matter where a participant begins, they’ll experience a program designed to meet them where they are, challenge them to grow, and equip them with tools they’ll use for life—on and off the course.
