First Tee Begins Age-Based Curriculum Rollout
Exciting curriculum enhancements to begin in 2022-23
As First Tee approaches its 25th anniversary, the organization continues to make significant investments to evolve and to meet the changing needs of today’s kids and families. Perhaps the most critical to our future success is the evolution, enhancement, and modernization of First Tee’s curriculum across the entire network. This includes not only modernizing what we deliver but how we deliver it.
At First Tee – Massachusetts, we will begin to roll out these enhancements at select program locations in Summer 2022, including Harwich, Springfield, and Southwick. The rest of our chapter will roll out age-based programs in 2023.
We are extremely pleased to be adding our 8th program location as we welcome The Ranch Golf Club in Southwick to the First Tee – Massachusetts family. The Ranch will begin First Tee classes this Summer and will be among our first locations to roll out age-based programming.
Please stay tuned as the full schedule and registration links will be announced soon at firstteemass.org and on our social channels @firstteemass.

Ace Level Participant
"Participating in First Tee means learning important life skills, such as honesty, integrity, and perseverance, on and off the golf course. Being introduced to those skills at a young age has given me the tools necessary to accomplish all that I have done, and still hope to do, in golf."
"Perseverance means I must continue even when I make a mistake or when things are difficult. This lesson helped me continue throughout the ups and downs of the high school golf season. Without First Tee, I never would have connected with the coaches and other golfers who have made my golf journey so much fun and such a great experience.”
In this inaugural issue of First Tee Times, we would like to highlight and thank all of our partners and supporters whose generosity is vital to delivering our game-changing First Tee Life Skills Curriculum to kids and teens across the state. Some of our longest tenured and most generous partners include: The John D. Mineck Foundation, The PGA TOUR Superstores, Whoop, Charles Schwab, Titleist and FootJoy, and Mildred’s Dream Foundation.
