Dear Coach,

You helped me see possibilities I didn’t even know were possible—simply by showing up, believing in me, and reminding me that growth takes time 💚⛳️

At First Tee — Oregon, coaching is about so much more than teaching the game. Our coaches are mentors, role models, and lifelong learners themselves. Through ongoing training, mentorship, and support, our coaches continue to grow alongside the participants they serve.

Because becoming a Game Changer isn’t about being perfect—it’s about showing up each day and committing to that growth mindset. 💪

Today, we’re celebrating our incredible Assistant Coaches 🙌

Dear Coach… 

“Thank you for providing such a welcoming environment for me as I learn this new sport and for always joking around at every lesson.” — Celeste 

At First Tee — Oregon, our coaches do so much more than teach golf skills. They create spaces where participants feel welcomed, supported, encouraged, and excited to learn and grow. 

We’re grateful for the incredible coaches who help make First Tee such a special place for so many young people in our community. ⛳

“I just want to say thank you for being with me for the past year and really helping me improve my golf game and helping me throughout high school be a better person.”  💬

Grayson has stuck with First Tee because of the welcoming, supportive environment his coaches have created around him. Through his time in the program, Coach Jose has helped him improve not only his golf swing, but the person he is becoming as well.

This is what First Tee is all about — coaches who show up every day and help participants see what’s possible when you believe in yourself. ⛳

Behind every program and participant experience is a team of outstanding leaders committed to creating meaningful impact 💚 

While participants may see the smiles, encouragement and energy during class, there is so much that happens behind the scenes to make our programs possible. 

From developing lesson plans, arriving early and staying late, to organizing equipment, answering parent questions, supporting and training fellow coaches, helping spread the word about our programs and representing First Tee — Oregon throughout the community, these coaches do far more than teach the game of golf. 

They are mentors, role models and leaders who help shape the culture of our organization just as much as they help shape the experiences of the participants we serve ⛳️ 

This First Tee Week, we’re proud to celebrate these leaders who help guide our programs across the state. 

Thank you for the passion, leadership and dedication you bring to our organization every day. We literally couldn’t do this work without you.  💚

“If I could describe my coach in three words, I would say helpful, kind and funny.” 💬 

Over the past few years at First Tee, Levi has continued to come out of his shell with the help of coaches who believed in him and his potential 💚 

Coach Ron, along with so many others across our programs, helps participants build confidence, discover their strengths and become the best version of themselves — on and off the course ⛳️ 

This First Tee Week, we’re celebrating the life-changing relationships between coaches and participants that make such a lasting impact.
