At #FirstTee, we're teeing up life lessons alongside every swing. Watch how our professionally-trained coaches gamify #golf lessons, build character, and make learning fun for kids of all ages.

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]

By integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum, we create active learning experiences that build #innerstrength, #selfconfidence, and #resilience that kids can carry to everything they do.

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]

Our coaches are the heartbeat of our organization, and we're so grateful that @Titleist also recognizes their contributions to growing #golf throughout #StLouis. Golf's leading performance equipment brand recently donated 20 eye-catching golf bags for our incredible coaches. 🙏

We’re Building Game Changers throughout #StLouis by empowering kids and teens through the game of #golf.

Our offices are closed. Our hearts are full.

Thank you to the Greater #StLouis community for making 2024 one of our best years on record!

#HappyNewYear

"The AJGA Dial program was awesome. I got an opportunity to see how Tournament Administration, Operations, and Communications work. I even got a chance to be an announcer at a tournament."

We're grateful for our many partners who step up to offer #FirstTee participants life lessons and some truly remarkable experiences, like our friends at @AJGAGolf.

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]

The #AJGA DIAL program gives an opportunity to be introduced a career path in #golf outside of playing the game. They invited 2 First Tee St. Louis golfers to check out the business side of golf.

As #2024 comes to a close, here's a snappy look back at our year by the numbers.

Thank you to all who gave their time, tried a new thing, invited us into their school and donated clubs, apparel, and cash. You helped us Build Game Changers in 2024!

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]

None of this would be possible without the support of our donors, who understand the character-building potential of #golf and the life-changing opportunities we provide.

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]

Milestones in 2024: Record participation, more female and diverse participants than ever before, and an increase in scholarships awarded. Our junior coach program flourished, and we continue to see the incredible impact mentorship and representation can have on our young #golfers

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]

We're grateful to @gotrstl and the @LPGAGirlsGolf for helping us grow the game of #golf and introduce our programming to hundreds of girls in Forest Park last month!

We appreciate the generosity of Lake Forest Country Club members. Your donations of hats, towels, clubs, and golf balls give young people the tools they need to develop character and learn life-changing skills through the game of #golf.

[The FirstTee STL @TheFirstTeeSTL]
