The First Tee of Greater Chicago, Bensenville

Playing golf can teach you a lot about life—especially how to develop patience. At The First Tee of Greater Chicago (one of 200 First Tee chapters worldwide), coaches impart young golfers with more than the technical aspects of a fundamental golf game. They also discuss broader lessons, such as why you should tell the truth about your golf scores, and why you should never move your ball even if no one is looking. Focusing on kids age 7 to 17, the golf school wants to instill core values such as respect and courtesy and build golfers for life.
