MORE THAN A SPORTS PROGRAM FOR KIDS & TEENS
At The First Tee, kids and teens are learning to play golf along with life lessons and leadership skills. And it’s making a difference. Our programs are having a positive impact on participants, their families and their communities.
WHY GOLF?
Golf is unique from other sports because players learn values like honesty and responsibility by calling penalties on themselves and reporting their own score. The sport is a perfect platform for helping young people develop character because just like in life, players experience the highs and lows of the game.

ABOUT THE FIRST TEE MASSACHUSETTS
www.thefirstteemass.org/locations/ In 2003, Mass Golf was selected by The First Tee to join its national network with a goal of delivering impactful programs in all 50 United States.
Since that time, Mass Golf has introduced Seven program locations - D.W. Field Golf Course (Brockton), William J. Devine GC at Franklin Park (Boston), Cranberry Valley (Harwich), Hyannis Golf Course (Cape Cod), KOHR Golf Center (Natick), Fenway Golf Center (Springfield), and The Links at Mass Golf (Norton).
The First Tee started as a way to bring an affordable junior golf program to youth and communities that did not have them. Our Massachusetts chapter is one of many in The First Tee network. The First Tee is reaching young people in all 50 states and select international locations on golf courses, in elementary schools and through other youth-serving organizations. Annually, more than 30,000 children are impacted by The First Tee of Massachusetts.
