First Tee Greater Tyler

The game does not teach itself.

A coach helps a kid learn how to set a goal, work through a hard day, and keep going when the shot—or life—doesn’t cooperate.

At First Tee Greater Tyler, our coaches help kids grow their golf skills and carry those lessons beyond the course.

Preparing those caring mentors starts before the first lesson. We cover background checks, SafeSport training, and First Tee coach training to help create a safe, supportive place for kids to learn.

Your gift supports that preparation and the coaching that keeps our kids learning and growing.

Small hands. Big possibilities.

Gear that fits is the difference between just swinging a club and learning. For some families, equipment is an extra expense that puts the game out of reach.

First Tee Greater Tyler gives kids access to the right tools, so gear isn’t the reason they sit out.

Your gift helps provide shared clubs, balls, and practice equipment that stay with the program—ready for the next lesson, the next session, and the next child stepping up to try.

Help put the game within reach.

FTGT DCP Games at the GPCEB is still living rent-free in our brains! ⛳💚

What an amazing day for our First Tee Greater Tyler families. More pics to come!

Kids competed. Families cheered. 👏

A place to play. Room to grow.

The game itself is the lesson. Golf asks a kid to be honest when no one is watching, to be patient, to work through a bad shot, and to care for the ground.

First Tee — Greater Tyler gives kids a real place to learn at Oak Hurst Golf-Course in Bullard, Cherokee Ranch Golf Club in Jacksonville, and
Woldert Park in Tyler—with caring coaches helping those lessons take root.

Keeping these spaces ready for our kids takes community support. Your gift helps keep them operational and welcoming, so kids can keep learning and growing, on and off the course.

Help us keep a place to play within reach.

But we’re trading October swings for holiday cheer! 🎄🏌️

⛳ It’s SO much more than golf! 💚

We’re not just teaching kids how to play the game. We’re using the game to teach respect, kindness, integrity, and the confidence to do what’s right, even when it’s hard.

The lessons start on the course, but the impact goes far beyond it.

That’s what First Tee is all about. 💚

From old cart barn to First Tee class and practice space, complete with a full golf simulator! —something exciting is taking shape at Cherokee Ranch Golf Club for our First Tee fam! 👀⛳

Turf installation began today, bringing us one step closer to creating a place where our Jacksonville participants can learn, practice and grow—rain or shine. 🥳

A big shoutout to Logan and Billy for rolling up their sleeves, getting their hands dirty and helping move this project closer to the finish line! 🙌

There’s still work to do, but the vision is coming together. We can’t wait to show you the finished space! 💚
