First Tee of Idaho is amazing! Within two weeks, four total sessions, and a couple of trips to the driving range, our eight year old son was ready to golf the course. We took him out on the course and he was amazing! The program teaches the kids very important core values that are important to the game of golf and very important throughout their lives in school, work and with friendships and family. We have enjoyed watching our son learn to play. The coaches and volunteers are amazing. I've been lucky enough to participate in a test version of an adult program and it was wonderful. We will continue with First Tee of Idaho in the years to come.

The First Tee of Idaho is an excellent organization. My son has been part of The First Tee of Idaho for going on 3 years and it is the first sport he has taken part in where I he is disappointed if he can't attend. His golf ability improves with every lesson. He has great respect for his coaches and his teammates. I never hesitate to recommend The First Tee of Idaho to anyone looking for golf activity for their child!

My son started this program in the Summer and continued in the Fall of 2012. With the help of great instructors he not only learned the basics of golf but the etiquette of being on the course. My son is shy and quiet and the instructors took a personal interest to make sure they interacted with him individually and in the group to encourage him to come out his shell. Their instruction, encouragement, and praise in his accomplishments gave a boost to his self esteem. We are looking forward to continuing this program in the Spring.

I had 2 kids go through the initial class this fall and it was a great introduction to golf and taught them great life values. Would recommend to everyone. The teachers were fantastic, the curriculum was top notch, and the facilities were wonderful.

Our family is so thankful for First Tee of Idaho and all of its supporters! My husband is active duty military solider and our two boys were awarded a scholarship their first class. After the first class the boys (and us) were hooked on golf and First Tee's whole person approach. Besides teaching the game and techniques of golf. They reinforced values such as honesty, integrity not only in golf but life as well. One of the first lessons that I loved was they taught the boys how to approach a stranger, shake their hands, look them in the eye and introduce themselves. The instructors are top notch who are so committed to First Tee and their students. The boys have been involved now for three years and have had the same group of instructors whom have really helped shape and evolve them into young men who can not only play a great game of golf but can follow rules, have integrity, honesty and know how to act respectful not only on a golf course but can relate those values to most part of their lives. After the first class we knew how much the boys wanted to continue but we couldn't afford it. But First Tee stepped up and has provided scholarships to the boys all three years! The boys know it is a privilege to go to each class and we are so thankful to First Tee of Idaho and ALL their supporters who have made it possible for our boys! GREAT GREAT organization!!!

I have 3 children who have participated in the First Tee Program. First & foremost, they love it. I love that they teach life skills along with golf skills. Really a first class organization.

The First Tee of Idaho is an amazing organization. My son signed up for the First Tee this past summer and took another course this past fall. His focus and attention to detail has improved greatly and he's becoming a very consistent player. The coaches are very patient with the kids, and break down the techniques into simple steps the kids are able to comprehend and process. I highly recommend the First Tee program to all of my friends...not just for the kids to play golf, but for them to see good sportsmanship, learn values, and experience the formalities of golf.

My husband is an avid and accomplished amatuer golfer, so we wanted to get lessons for our girls. Many local golf courses offer them, but they are very, very expensive and the classes are often large 10+ kids with one instructor. The First Tee was able to offer partial scholarships for our two kids and the classes were great! There were 4-8 kids per class. The lessons were wonderful and focused not only on skills, but on the honor and integrity of the game. They learned so much in just 10 lessons. Each week had a theme (Character, Honesty, Perseverence, etc) that was integrated in every part of the lesson. We are very happy with their progress and hope to participate again!

My son would participate in every single golf class The First Tee of Idaho offers if he could. As soon as he completes one session he's ready start the next. He's had so much fun learning the game and meeting new friends. The beauty of it is that there is so much more to the program than just those two wonderful benefits. The more he hears about the core values of living, those being responsiblity, respect, honest, etc. the more he lives those characteristics. Thank you The First Tee of Idaho for your enthusiastic and knowledgable instructors and your dedication to growing the WHOLE person, not just the golf game.

As a former "football" family, we have converted! Our youngest son decided to make the switch from football to golf this year following in his two of his brothers' footsteps. We couldn't be more pleased! The character values taught and emphasized to our son and the children of the Treasure Valley by First Tee will have a lasting impact on Idaho communities. Their emphasis on honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, etc. is unlike any other youth sports programs we have been involved with. I highly recommend First Tee to all the youth of Idaho and know with all certainty that it will make a difference in their lives! Thanks First Tee for doing it right!!!
