⛳ More Than Just Golf: Shaping Young Lives
🏌️♀️ Discover How First Tee - Southern Colorado is Building Game Changers on and Off the Course
Imagine a child stepping onto a golf course for the first time. The grip of the club feels unfamiliar, the swing awkward. But at First Tee - Southern Colorado, it's not just about the golf. It's about the spark of confidence that ignites when they connect with the ball, the quiet resilience they build as they learn to navigate the course, just like they navigate life.
Since 2013, First Tee has been more than a junior golf program; it's a character-building experience. They understand that the lessons learned on the green – perseverance, integrity, respect – translate into valuable life skills. Through their unique blend of golf instruction and life skills curriculum, they're shaping young people into confident, capable individuals, ready to take on any challenge.
Want to be a part of something truly special? First Tee relies on the dedication of volunteers to mentor and inspire these young game changers. Whether you're a seasoned golfer or simply passionate about making a difference, your time and talents can have a lasting impact. Contact First Tee - Southern Colorado at (719) 597-1932 or [email protected] to discover how you can help empower the next generation.
