BENEFITING YOUR COURSE
AND YOUR COMMUNITY

HOW TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The First Green allows young students to get out of the classroom and apply STEM principles in a real-world setting. Golf course superintendents play the role of teacher on the golf course, complementing classroom curriculums with hands-on learning labs.

Getting involved is as easy as 1. 2. 3.
