What We Do: OUR MISSION To enrich the lives of young people in the Louisville Metropolitan area by providing unique programs and affordable facilities which promote character development and positive life skills through the game of golf. In February 2005, The First Tee of Louisville became the 200th facility of The First Tee at its Annual Meeting at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida. This was a day many of us had been waiting years to arrive. The First Tee of Louisville was conceived as an umbrella organization for three existing junior golf programs at Shawnee Golf Course (Urban Youth Golf program, Tee Swingers and Shawnee Youth Golf Club). Today, these programs have been molded into The First Tee of Louisville, which provides Golf Skills, Life Skills and Healthy Habits to our participants. Over the years our programming has grown, as has the number of participants in the programs. This year we are conducting eight-week sessions on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
