About the First Tee Chapter of KingGeorgeCountyVirginia
The First Tee program is a nationwide initiative of the World Golf Foundation. The focus is to give young people of all backgrounds an opportunity to develop, through golf and character, education, life-enhancing values, such as honesty, integrity and sportsmanship.
The First Tee Chapter of King George County Virginia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization created for the purpose of providing affordable access to golf and golf learning facilities for young people - particularly those who otherwise might not have an opportunity to play. It was designed to serve as a place for participants to learn valuable life skills and character lessons through creative activities and instructional programs that incorporate the fundamental teachings of golf.
King George Chapter currently supports 9 kids, ages 8 through 17, providing golf equipment, lessons, golf course and tournament play paid for by golf equipment manufacturer sponsors. All awards, gifts and equipment of monetary value are turned over to the parents of the kids.
