The First Tee of Greater Seattle was formed in 2001 from a collaborative effort involving the Broadmoor Golf Club Foundation, The First Tee, the board of Municipal Golf of Seattle and the City of Seattle. We became the 106th chapter of The First Tee on December 20, 2002. Our legal name is the Seattle Junior Golf Foundation, and we do business as The First Tee of Greater Seattle.
We began programming for 224 kids in 2003 at Jefferson Park Golf Course in Seattle and in 2004 we expanded to Jackson Park Golf Course serving 505 children. In 2005, we expanded to Crossroads Par 3 Golf Course in Bellevue and served a total of 676 kids. We now serve more than 1,000 annually at 4 golf facilities, including Riverbend Golf Complex in Kent. We also serve more than 25,000 students through Life Skills programs offered in public school physical education classes through The First Tee's National Schools Program.
