The Grant Committee prefers programs that include a balance of four primary areas of emphasis:
  1. Instruction
  2. Practice
  3. Playing
  4. Life Skills - Click here to look at The First Tee's "Nine Core Values"

Golf After Your Program - To be most effective, your program should consider where your juniors will have the opportunity to play golf after they leave your program.  You should coordinate with other local junior programs and local golf courses to establish necessary relationships.

Playing Golf - Golf is a game to be played.  Instruction and practice are good - but kids have to be able to play the game in some form for your program to be most effective.  Do not wear kids out by having them play too many holes, or golf holes that are too long for their ability.  Make sure playing golf and practice sessions are fun.  Competition is healthy. 

Community Involvement - Adequate supervision not only promotes safety, it provides for a better experience.  Your local golf professional will often provide you with tremendous advice and assistance.  Go to area clubs and meet with the golf professionals.   Florida also has over one million golfers, many of which are willing to provide help with your juniors.  Senior golfers love to see juniors participating and many have decades of experience around the game.  Use your local community and local community support groups for assistance and fund raising - do not just seek large grants for your support.  Ask for help and financial support from the men's and women's golf committees at your local golf clubs.
