Are you looking for a program that will empower your daughter to succeed? Our golf and life skills programs may be just what she’s looking for.
Girls are encouraged to join any of the programs offered at First Tee-Howard County, and we also provide programs geared exclusively for girls. Often led by female coaches and role models, the programs are designed to empower and inspire girls on the golf course, in the classroom and as they pursue college and careers. The programs provide them with the confidence and skills to become tomorrow’s leaders. For more information, please contact
Karin Van Slyke.
GIRLS WILL:
- Learn the many life-long benefits from golf
- Build lasting relationships with other girls
- Experience competition in a fun, supportive environment
PROGRAMS CAN VARY FROM YEAR TO YEAR, BUT MAY INCLUDE:
- LPGA-USGA Girls Golf
- Personal interaction with LPGA professionals, EWGA members and female PGA of America members
- One-on-one mentoring programs that pairs girls with positive role models in their community
- Assistance with college applications and scholarships
At First Tee, we’re teaching more than the game of golf – through the program, girls are empowered and inspired to succeed in the game of life.
