The Core Values of The First Tee

Frank LaRosa with Golf to Go on ESPN 1320 interviews Angie Dixon, Executive Director of The First Tee of Greater Sacramento, on the importance of the “Core Values” that are taught in all of The First Tee programs.

What are the 9 Core Values? Honesty. Integrity. Respect. Sportsmanship. Judgement. Perseverence. Confidence. Courtesy. Responsibility.

These are more than simply BIG words for the kids. The goal is to teach the kids what these words mean and the juniors are expected to practice and to live by these Core Values, not only in golf, but in their lives.
