The First Tee
of Indiana
The First Tee of Indiana strives to impact the lives of young people by providing programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf. Since 2012, we have grown from two program locations to 18 and are impacting almost 2,000 youth in our Life Skills Experience classes. In 2019, over 275 elementary schools incorporated the National School Program into their physical education classes and introduced 98,000 Indiana youth to the game of golf and The First Tee’s nine core values and healthy habits.
