First Tee - Palm Beaches

First Tee - Palm Beaches has evolved into a major youth development program in Palm Beach County at our Michael B. Finnegan Learning Center in Dyer Park and golf courses all throughout the county. Founded by George McGrory (Mr. Mac), our non-profit organization, The Children’s Golf Foundation, began serving young people with special needs in 1988.

Subsequently, our chapter of First Tee Chapter was established with the support of the Michael B. Finnegan Foundation, the PGA of America and The Honda Classic. Our service area includes all of Palm Beach County which encompasses over 80,000 elementary school students. We operate a golf facility that includes a par-3 course, hitting tee, and chipping and putting short game areas. Our programs are taught by PGA and LPGA Coaches trained by First Tee.

Typically, we schedule a series of 9, once weekly sessions, for each program. Sessions are 1 to 1.5 hours each week. We offer Saturday and weekday evening classes open to the public. Please visit our website to review our summer camp schedule.  We cater to all levels of players from beginners to advanced.  Many of our students play middle school, high school and college golf.  We even have an alumna that has turned professional.
