NETWORK HIGHLIGHTS O Reached more than 1.9 million young people through The First Tee program delivery channels. O Nearly 700 new schools began conducting The First Tee National School Program or were under contract to do so.
O In February, The First Tee Network Meeting in San Jose, Calif., brought together more than 400 board members, executive directors, coaches and volunteers for four days of motivating, educational sessions. The highlight was the culminating speech at the Gala Dinner by General Colin Powell, USA (Ret.).
O The Military Affiliate Program commenced on 50 United States installations, with plans to launch on 70 more bases in 2010: 50 in the U.S. and 20 overseas. Additionally, a program for the children of National Guardsman and Reservists will launch in 2010.
O Designed to foster relationships between today’s young touring professionals and The First Tee activities in their hometowns, at tournament sites and fundraisers, a Young Ambassadors Council was developed and launched with co-chairs Paula Creamer from the LPGA and Anthony Kim from the PGA TOUR.
O All Chapters received the opportunity to be trained to teach PLAYer, the new level of the Life Skills certification for participants age 7 and older. Of the Chapters that were trained, 70% successfully implemented the program by the end of 2009 and 89% were satisfied or very satisfied with its content.
O The First Tee Trustee and World Golf Hall of Fame member Jack Nicklaus paid tribute to two participants who overcame family hardships at the RBS Achievers of the Year Awards Dinner during the U.S. Open.

RESEARCH & IMPACT
A four-year study (2005-2008) by a leading expert in
positive youth development through sport* provided databased evidence that The First Tee Life Skills Experience program is effective and that youth are transferring these life skills to multiple settings, learning and using life skills in the golf context and demonstrating desirable qualities defined by the Nine Core Values.
Using a variety of methods including individual
interviews and quantitative surveys, further conclusions from the multi-year study revealed the following key findings. 1. 73% of The First Tee participants were retained from year one to year four of the research. This retention rate is impressive given the average dropout rate per year is about 50% in other youth organizations.
2. Through The First Tee, young people learn and improve life skills such as problem solving, managing time, controlling one’s temper, making friends with diverse peers and improving relationships with family and community.
3. Youth in The First Tee continue to improve their ability to transfer skills related to meeting and greeting and appreciating diversity to other settings. Examples include, starting a conversation with a new person and respecting people who are different from them.
4. Youth in The First Tee are learning and using life skills on the golf course and are able to transfer skills such as emotional management, goalsetting and conflict resolution to school and other areas of their lives (e.g., setting goals to get better grades).
5. 78% of interviewees were convincing of their ability to transfer life skills (such as decision making, self-management and goal-setting) to situations involving school, family, friends, jobs, college, career and outof-school activities.
participants transferred life skills.
7. Because of their participation in The First Tee, youth have confidence they can successfully perform schoolwork, get along with peers and do well at golf skills. Additionally, The First Tee youth believe they show respect for themselves and others, exhibit responsibility, “do the right thing” (integrity) and persevere in the face of challenges. * 2005-2008 Longitudinal Effects of a Life Skills Education Program on Positive Youth Development (led by Maureen R.

Reach + Retention = Impact The National School Program’s NATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAM
In 2009, The First Tee of Greater Charleston had a vision to create impactful programming by bringing the National School Program to schools in their community. Through various fundraising efforts, the Chapter was able to implement the program in 10 schools in its first year of supporting the National School Program. “Our programming goals going forward include having maximum reach plus retention for the most positive impact,” said Ben Grandy, executive director of The First Tee of Greater Charleston.
As the Chapter increases its presence in area schools,
they will be able to build the National School Program around its core sites, which will lead to the most positive impact they can have in a young person’s life.

training consultant and lead national trainer, Lana Peterson, was honored as the National Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year. This award, presented by the National Association for Sports and Physical Education, honors the elite of the physical activity, physical education and sport profession and is presented to one elementary physical educator annually from nominees all over the nation. Peterson conducts National School Program trainings all over the country for The First Tee and has been instrumental in assisting with the development of the curriculum and training since 2004.
The Administration at Everett Public Schools in Massachusetts believes strongly in what The First Tee is providing through the National School Program, they have incorporated the Nine Core Values in all components of the school day. Each month of the school year represents a Core Value, which is then taught in home room, math class and more. All students in grades K-5 learn about these values every day, every month and every year. In the eyes of the school district, this will change their community. “The First Tee National School Program has made a tremendous impact in helping build character education,” said Everett Public School Assistant Superintendant Charles Obremski. “Each elementary school in Everett identifies a monthly theme based on one of the Nine Core Values of the program. The children are able to apply their learning experience with these Nine Core Values in their everyday life. As a result of the thorough implementation of this program across the district, the Everett Public Schools has noticed an increase in the confidence level of student participants throughout the district.”

The PLAYer level of the Life Skills Experience is the newly established entry level into the Life Skills Experience for all participants age 7 and older. The development of this innovative level is based on a variety of sources, including eight years of Chapter network feedback, third-party research and a pilot of 20 Chapters with over 1,000 participants. The PLAYer level provides developmentally appropriate curriculum and introduces playing the game of golf with special emphasis on learning golf, The First Tee Code of Conduct, appreciating In 2009, The First Tee conducted its first PLAYer

2009 NETWORK MEETING
Kicking off the final stretch of The First Tee Phase III
Strategic Plan, and unveiling the theme “Forces Fore Good,” the Network Meeting in February was an opportunity for Chapters to reflect on how they could become high-impact agents of change in their communities. The theme drew from the acclaimed book Forces for Good, which examined the six practices of high impact non-profits. Consistent with the book, the Network Meeting explored ways The First Tee network can create large scale impact through its work with young people.
The meeting was highlighted by presentations from author
of Forces for Good Heather McLeod Grant, NFL Hall of Famer
“I have been involved in a number of youthserving programs and I don’t know of any that have grown as rapidly and firmly as The First Tee. We need youngsters who have had placed in their hearts by adults in their lives the Nine Core Values of The First Tee. Young people must be taught these values and believe they can help them move upward. We want kids to believe in themselves, to believe in their communities, give back to others and believe in America.” • General Colin Powell, USA (Ret.)
Ronnie Lott and Gen. Colin Powell, USA (Ret.).
“The First Tee has impacted my life greatly. It provided me with more confidence. Being involved in the program has given me the opportunity to learn valuable skills that I can use to better my life. ”

Before taking on the role of managing director at a private
equity group in New York, David Cohen took extended time off to investigate charitable organizations with which he might like to be involved. As an avid golfer, he had seen commercials for The First Tee during tournament telecasts and began to research the organization.
Cohen already served on several advisory boards and
alumni fundraising committees for Duke University, his alma mater, and thought The First Tee might give young people the tools they need to prepare for higher education and successful careers.
Following a meeting and a visit to an existing Life Skills
and Leadership Academy, Mr. Cohen led the way in support of a new academy concept, and the inaugural PLAYer Advanced Academy was realized Summer 2009. For the first time, The First Tee brought together a diversified group of young people to focus on preparations for higher education, including steps necessary to compete on a collegiate golf team.
Cohen also recognized the need to support his local
Chapter, The First Tee of Metropolitan New York, where he serves on the Board and has organized outings to benefit the Chapter and home office.
Sustaining Corporate Support
As part of FedEx’s commitment to environmental
sustainability, the FedExCup® Fore!Ever campaign was launched, teaching The First Tee participants about sustainable golf practices while facilitating eco-friendly public golf course improvements at Chapter facilities in communities that host PGA TOUR FedExCup tournaments.
Funded in 2009 and 2010, the course improvement
events are taking place with the help of FedEx team members, PGA TOUR players and young people from The First Tee. The goal is to make local community courses more ecofriendly and minimize their carbon footprint. In addition to golf course improvements, Audubon International developed a sustainability-relevant curriculum for The First Tee to be used throughout the Chapter network, which will launch in the fall of 2010.

Contributions • Grants • Corporate Partners • Industry Involvement • Chapter Champions This section recognizes the many individuals, corporations, foundations and other organizations whose partnership makes the continued success of The First Tee possible. The First Tee is grateful to receive widespread support from those in the golf industry and beyond who share The First Tee’s passion for building positive character traits in young people through seamless golf and life skills instruction.
Dear Friend: In twelve short years, The First Tee has evolved into an international youth development program reaching more than 3.5 million young people, not only at golf courses and driving ranges, but in schools, parks, community and youth centers. The incredible impact The First Tee has had would not be possible without your extraordinary investment. Your funds directly support the work of our Chapters and schools, facilitate the development and enhancement of curricula and allow us to educate and train the adults involved with our program – board members, coaches, executives, volunteers and teachers. Maintaining the quality of the experience that each young person receives at our programs is essential in sustaining our impact. The independent, longitudinal research conducted on the Life Skills Experience attests that the impact our programs have on young people is substantial. Young people are not only learning and using life skills on the golf course, but more importantly, they are also transferring these skills to school (e.g., setting goals to get better grades) and other areas of their lives. One of the participants corroborated this research when he said, “The First Tee has given me the skills and values to become a more successful leader.” It is because of these findings that we want to extend our reach to more young people in more communities – through our Chapter network, schools and partnerships with youth development organizations. As we enter the next phase of activities, we intend to bring the game of golf, its positive values and the Life Skills Experience to over 10 million young people. It’s an ambitious goal, but one we can accomplish with your help.

We appreciate the confidence you have already shown in the work of The First Tee, and ask that you continue to invest in our young people, and their future, by supporting us today.

“Not every child gets the kind of grounding and positive reinforcement at home and school that I was fortunate to receive. That is why programs like The First Tee are so important to the development of the next generation. When Barbara and I created an endowment fund, we chose The First Tee as the avenue to direct those funds so that they might reach and impact as many young lives as possible, because we knew The First Tee makes a difference.” – Jack Nicklaus, Trustee
