About First Tee Quad Cities

First Tee Quad Cities is more than just a golf program. They believe in crafting learning experiences that embed character development and life-enhancing values within the game of golf.

 

Their mission: "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."

First Tee Quad Cities: Building Character Through Golf

Sara Cross, the Executive Director for First Tee Quad Cities, shed light on the challenges children face in 2023. Amid concerns of social isolation, First Tee offers a breath of fresh air, literally and metaphorically. By merging golf with life skills, they aim to shape well-rounded individuals ready for the future.

 

Sara highlighted that golf naturally teaches character-building values such as honesty, self-confidence, good judgment, and sportsmanship when asked about their approach. It's not merely about swinging the club; it's about instilling these core values in daily life.

Sara's pride shines when she talks about shy kids who, in just six weeks, become confident and joyful. She strongly believes that sports not only develop athletic skills but also prepare children for various challenges in life.

 

For those of you who want to try golfing for the first time, Sara's advice is simple: be patient, take lessons, and above all, enjoy the process. With over half of all golfers seldom breaking 100, the goal isn’t perfection—it's progress!

First Tee's Growth and Future Aspirations

Expansion is on the horizon for First Tee Quad Cities. Their new facility, Iron Tees, set to open its doors in Winter 2024, promises more opportunities for children and coaches alike. Sara spoke passionately about the opening of the Highland Springs Clubhouse, an event that doubled their enrollment and highlighted their significant impact on the community.
