Programs & Instructions
  Structure
Paralleling the structure of the golf instruction program, The First Tee Life Skills Experience™ is divided into three certification levels, starting with Par and progressing through Birdie and Eagle.
Programs & Instruction
The First Tee of Lake Erie conducts programs for youth ages 6-18 all year round. During the winter, we conduct TARGET programming at eight school districts in their fourth grade physical education classes.
  The First Tee Nine Core Values

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 have been incorporated into The First Tee Experience and have been used to name golf holes at several of The First Tee facilities.
The First Tee Life Skills Experience

The First Tee Life Skills Experience is one of the unique features that differentiates The First Tee from many other successful junior golf programs.  Through the Life Skills Experience, participants learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences and how to define and set goals from the golf course to everyday life.
The First Tee Certification Process
