The First Tee of Greater Kansas City
helps over 2000 young people each year to learn valuable Life
Skills through a "seamless approach." Participants learn to to
communicate better, develop self-awareness, learn to set reachable
goals and practice resistance skills at one of our five programming
sites while having fun and learning to play golf.
Tom Watson's involvement with the
First Tee of Kansas City...
There is no better friend or role
model for Kansas City's kids than Tom Watson. He first hosted an
event for Cystic Fibrosis in 1976. From 1979 and during the 25
years that followed, supported by the Blue Hills Country Club and a
host of volunteers, Tom's annual Children's Mercy Hospital Classic
has produced over nine million dollars to help create one of the
finest pediatric facilities in the country.
Tom now hostes the Annual Tom Watson
Challenge. The real winner of the event are the young people who
participate in The First Tee of Greater Kansas City. Last year's
event contributed more than $70,000 to The First Tee Scholarship
Fund.
Finally, Tom donates his time, his
talent and his money in support of the Junior Golf Foundation of
Greater Kansas City as Chairman of its Advisory Board. The eleven
acre Haert of America junior facility is the product of his design
and his hands-on supervision during its
construction.
