GOLF

NINE HEALTHY HABITS THE FIRST TEE OF SOUTH DAKOTA AT EDGEBROOK The First Tee of South Dakota improves the lives of young people by providing educational programs and learning environments that build character, instill life enhancing values, and promote healthy choices through the game of golf. The First Tee Life Skills experience enables participants to learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences and how to define and set goals from the golf course to everyday life.

Participants learn about themselves and others through a range of experiences enhancing their golf skills as well as their fundamental values for life. As their opportunities on the golf course expand, so do the opportunities for their futures. All participants receive yardage books & bag tags so their progress can be

observed as they advance within The First Tee certification levels of PLAYer, Par, Birdie, Eagle and Ace. At each certification level, participants are introduced to new golf skills and life skills. Life skills include: Meet & Greet, Character Development, Conflict Resolution, Dreams, Goals, building a Go-to team, and Appreciating Diversity. The First Tee provides tremendous opportunities for young people to achieve success both in golf and in life.

More information will be available to parents prior to the first class and you can learn more about The First Tee Life Skills experience at www.thefirsttee.org, OR www.thefirstteesouthdakota.org OR the Brookings Chapter website: www.facebook.com/FirstTeeBrookings

PLAYer 2 will take place at the same time as the PLAYer sessions, but will be separate and focused on refined skill development and certification for progression to PAR. All new participants must start in PLAYer.

ParLevel focuses on advanced golf skills and focuses on interpersonal and self-management skills on and off the course.
