Since 2000, the San Joaquin Junior Golf Foundation has provided area youth with free golf lessons and equipment at our weekly golf clinics for kids, ages 7-17. We have been fortunate to have great support from the Pacific Golf Team as well as former Stockton and Lincoln High School product Ricky Barnes who stars on the PGA Tour.
As our kids will tell you, The First Tee of San Joaquin is an amazing program. We hope that you will join us in continuing to open new doors for our local youth.
“I used to have very poor judgement. The First Tee of San Joaquin helped me look at other options I have instead of taking the gamble. This applies both on and off the course. Judgement was what shaved at least 10 strokes.”
“Respect is very important. Without respect it would be a world with no rules or cops. Respect other people the way you want to be treated.”
“Sportsmanship is a Core Value that helped me a lot. Before, when I first started playing, I didn’t care about the rules. I cheated a lot and didn’t show fairness. When The First Tee of San Joaquin showed me this Core Value, I learned a lot. Now I follow the rules and respect the people I play with.”
