The goal of the Golf First Program is to help young people ages 10-15 learn the game.  Each student in the program receives the following: Six FREE lessons from PGA and LPGA teaching professionals covering rules of the game of golf and instruction in the fundamentals of grip, putting, swing, pitching, and chipping. A FREE golf bag and a set of beginner clubs, if needed. FREE unlimited use of practice range and green fees for the season upon successful completion of golf clinics. Since its creation, the Golf First Program has supplied lessons, clubs and bags to over 300 young golfers.  The Golf First Program was awarded a grant from the USGA in 2007 and 2008. It is registered with the USGA and PGA supported Junior Links.

"Thank you for everything and this opportunity to learn the game of golf.  I loved it!"   Garrett Goluszka - Participant

25 to 30 adult and high school golf team members volunteer each year to be mentors for the program participants.  Each mentor is assigned a student and works individually with him/her to reinforce the lessons and skills taught by the PGA and LPGA professionals. The Beginner Program meets on Mondays and Thursdays and runs from June 4th through June 21st. The Intermediate Program meets on Wednesdays and Fridays and runs from June 6th through June 22nd.
