About First Tee Life Skills Program!
First Tee — Greater Tyler was formed from the Tyler Junior Golf Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit community youth development organization. First Tee – Greater Tyler partners with the following golf courses to operate our Life Experience Classes: Emerald Bay Golf Club, Oakhurst Golf Course, and our facility at Woldert Park in north Tyler. These groupings are based on similarities in children’s cognitive skills, physical and movement skills, language skills, as well as social and emotional skills, which will allow the curriculum and coaches to meet the needs of participants in developmentally appropriate ways.
