Program Overview
Hogan's Junior Golf Heroes - The First Tee of Omaha Programs are open to anyone between the ages of 5-18. The program meets 3 days a week for 6 total weeks. Our programs will expose participants to core fundamental golf and life skills that promote character development and life-enhancing values instilled in the game of golf.
Program Progression
Upon registration in The First Tee Program, students will begin working toward successfully completing The First Tee Golf and Life Skills Curriculum. The First Tee Curriculum is based on a progressive model that takes participants through 5 certification levels: PLAYer, PAR, BIRDIE, EAGLE, and ACE. The length of time needed to advance from one level to the next will vary from student to student. It is not a race, but a journey that assures each student receives the necessary tools to have a fun and rewarding life on and off the golf course. Participants must attend the required courses within each level, successfully complete all of the golf and life skill requirements and meet the minimum age before graduating to more advance levels.
