A New Opportunity for Young Girls to Shine on the Golf Course

In the heart of the Lowcountry, a new season of the LPGA Girls Golf Program is about to begin, bringing an incredible opportunity for young girls to develop their skills, build confidence, and create lasting friendships. This year, the program is completely FREE for students enrolled in First Tee – The Lowcountry, making it more accessible than ever.

A Game-Changer for Young Athletes

More than just learning to swing a club, this program is designed to help girls learn the game on the course, develop character, and improve their fitness through fun, engaging activities. We will be getting on the course regularly so they learn to play the game, not just swing a club. Participants will progress through the “5 E’s of Girls Golf”—Empower, Enrich, Engage, Exercise, and Energize—while facing age-specific skill challenges tailored to their development.

With expert coaching from LPGA and PGA Golf Professionals, girls of all skill levels, from beginners to competitive players, will have a chance to refine their technique and experience the game in a supportive, encouraging environment.
