Beaver Golf Homeschool Golf Program Resources

Coach Glen Beaver has always taught the First Tee Nine Core Values to junior golfers.  In Spring 2020, he became an Affiliate program of The First Tee of The Palm Beaches.  Click here to learn why.

9 Core Values
The 9 Core Values are foundational to your child's development in golf and in life.  As your golfer progresses through the program they will  continue to develop these character traits.  Click the links below to hear Coach Glen Beaver's thoughts on each core value.

Respect
In golf it is important to show respect for oneself, playing partners, fellow competitors, the golf course, and for the honor and traditions of the game.
Courtesy
A round of golf should begin and end with a handshake between fellow competitors. Players also should be still and quiet while others are preparing and performing a shot.
Sportsmanship
​Players must know and abide by the rules of golf and be able to conduct themselves in a kind and respectful manner towards others even in a competitive game.
Honesty
Golf is unique from other sports in that players regularly call penalties on themselves and report their own score.
Integrity
Golf is a game of etiquette and composure. Players are responsible for their actions and personal conduct on the golf course even at times when others may not be looking
​Responsibility​
Players are responsible for their actions on the golf course. It is up to them to keep score, repair divots, rake bunkers, repair ball marks on the green, and keep up with the pace of play.
Judgment
Using good judgment is very important in golf. It comes into play when deciding on strategy, club selection, when to play safe and when to take a chance, the type of shot players consider executing, as well as making healthy choices on and off the golf course.
Confidence
Confidence plays a key role in the level of play that one achieves. Players can increase confidence in their abilities by being positive and focusing on something they are doing well regardless of the outcome.
Perseverance
To succeed in golf, players must continue through bad breaks and their own mistakes, while learning from past experiences.

9 Healthy Habits
The Nine Healthy Habits were created through a collaboration among The First Tee, ANNIKA Foundation, and Florida Hospital for Children to promote healthy, active lifestyles for young people. As your golfer progresses through the series, they will learn how these habits apply to golf.

Fun At Home
During the weekly classes your child will learn golf fundamentals.  These activities are designed to help foster an excitement for the game of golf in its entirety outside of class.
