The First Tee®

Anne Marie is proud to announce that the First Tee of the Triad is here! Starting in March 2008, the First Tee will be open to children, ages 8-18. The First Tee of the Triad is a non-profit organization that teaches children valuable life skills through golf.

Using the Nine Core Values: Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy, Judgment, The First Tee hopes to make a difference in the lives of children right here in our own community.

The children will go through 6-8 week programs. As they graduate through each level, the student gains insight and confidence that will help them for years to come.

If you would like to be a part of this great organization, as a volunteer, supporter, or sponsor, please contact Anne Marie at 336-345-1362 or AMGoslak1@aol.com

About The First Tee: The First Tee has as its mission “to impact the lives of young people around the world by creating affordable and accessible golf facilities to primarily serve those who have not previously had exposure to the game and it’s positive values”.

Local youth from age 8 to 18 who enter The First Tee program will learn more than just the fundamentals of a good golf swing. The First Tee has established Nine Core Values that represent some of the many inherently positive values connected with the game of golf. These Nine Core values, Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy, and Judgment are incorporated into The First Tee experience. The local instructors are trained through The First Tee Regional Training Sessions to create a seamless approach in golf and Life Skills instruction.

The life skills or “Core Values” that The First Tee teaches is what really makes The First Tee program different from most golf programs. The way the “Core Values” are integrated into the golf instruction, the participates learn great personal skills in a fun and effective manner. Participates learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences; how to define and set goals; and how to transfer values such as responsibility, honesty, respect, confidence, and sportsmanship from the golf course to daily life.”
