Not only is golf a sport of a lifetime, but in many ways it is a lesson in life.
Golf is unique in the values it teaches.
Accessibility and affordability continue to loom as primary deterrents as individuals of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds become inspired to take up this great game. Never before has this problem been addressed on such a broad spectrum as through The First Tee. I am pleased to serve as the Honorary Chairman of this ambitious golf initiative, which is being done through a partnership with golf and governmental organizations and associations throughout the United States. It has the full support and participation of the major golf organizations and professional tours throughout the world. These bodies are unified in the effort to grow the game of golf through the creation of new, affordable entry points, with a special emphasis on youngsters.
