The
RDGA, in partnership with
The First Tee of Western NY, is pleased to announce that
The First Tee of WNY has OPENED registration for 2 Rochester area locations this Summer -
Genesee Valley and

The First Tee of Western NY coaches foster positive relationships that inspire young people to discover their individual potential. We impact the lives of over 15,000 participants in Western NY each year through our school programs, outreach and on-course programming.
Through The First Tee of Western NY Life Skills Experience, young people build confidence, develop respect and appreciate the value of giving back to their community, all while learning the lifelong sport of golf.
Who can play?
The First Tee of Western NY offers group lessons to all youth ages 7-18, regardless of background or previous experience. All we ask is young people come with an open mind and positive attitude.

What about golf equipment?
The First Tee of Western NY provides access to clubs and balls. No need for special golf attire.
My child has never picked up a golf club before.
Our coaches are trained in positive youth development. That means they are experts in making young people feel comfortable and assure they have a positive, non-intimidating experience.
Young people building character - really?
Each lesson is designed to foster golf skills as well as help youth understand and ultimately develop The First Tee Nine Core Values. And, research proves it works.
How do young people progress?
Participants move through levels over time (PLAYer, Par, Birdie, Eagle, Ace) that introduce new and more advanced concepts of golf and life skills that help build character on and off the course.
