First Tee – Mid-Michigan
First Tee – Mid-Michigan is the culmination of a community effort to create a first-class learning environment for Greater Lansing area youth. Through this organization, young people have the opportunity to learn important life skills, interact with positive mentors, and be exposed to the great game of golf.
Thanks to the charitable efforts of Kris Nicholoff, Greg Eaton, Tom Jamieson and Chuck Clark (among others), working through First Tee – Michigan, the Sycamore Golf Learning Center was built. This building serves as the center of our operation during the golf season and is located at 1526 East Mt. Hope, Lansing, Michigan. The Learning Center has a large area for the instruction of our participants, a meeting room and a small office.
After the Learning Center was finished, all it needed was kids! Jeff Green and J.V. Anderton energized the drive for the Mid-Michigan region to have its own Chapter as a part of First Tee, with the first participants taking their initial swings in the 2008 season.
Children ages 7-17 can join First Tee – Mid-Michigan for a fee (scholarships are available). The activity fee allows members to utilize the golf courses, Learning Center and enters them into First Tee programs.
We would love to hear from you! For more details about our facility and programs, please contact Tim Bograkos at [email protected].
