The First Tee (www.thefirsttee.org) is an initiative of the World Golf Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in St. Augustine, FL at World Golf Village, home of the World Golf Hall of Fame.  Its mission is to impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf.  The First Tee Nine Core Values are Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, Courtesy and Judgment.

The First Tee Life Skills Experience, a curriculum for teaching character education through specific life skills, helps participants learn to appreciate diversity, manage emotions, set step by step goals and plan for the future. Through the Life Skills Experience, young people discover how skills essential to success on a golf course can also help them flourish in life.  These skills include self-management, interpersonal communication, goal setting, mentoring and effective conflict resolution.

Since its inception in 1997, The First Tee has introduced the game of golf and its values to more than 2.9 million participants in 49 states and five international locations – Canada, England, Ireland, New Zealand and Singapore.   Former President George H. W. Bush serves as honorary chairman.  The First Tee Founding Partners are the Augusta National Golf Club, LPGA, PGA of America, PGA TOUR and the USGA.
