First Tee - Louisville

First Tee - Louisville Louisville Youth Development Program
Life Skills + Golf = Building Game Changers Augustine, Florida. This was a day many of us had been waiting years to arrive.

In February 2005, First Tee – Louisville became the 200th facility of First Tee at its Annual Meeting at the World Golf Village in St. First Tee – Louisville was conceived as an umbrella organization for three existing junior golf programs at Shawnee Golf Course (Urban Youth Golf program, Tee Swingers and Shawnee Youth Golf Club). Today, these programs have been molded into First Tee – Louisville,

which provides Golf Skills, Life Skills and Healthy Habits to our participants. Over the years our programming has grown, as has the number of participants in the programs. This year we are conducting seven-week sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
