Partnering For Progress

Visibility & Accessibility

• A centrally located headquarters places the organization in the heart of the community, making it easier for kids, families, volunteers, and donors to access.

• It signals permanence, stability, and a long-term commitment to serving that city’s youth.

Identity & Branding

• A visible headquarters strengthens the brand presence of First Tee in the city.

• It becomes a recognizable landmark that communicates “this is where youth golf and character development happen.”

• Central positioning reinforces First Tee’s identity as a trusted, city-wide institution.

Operational Efficiency

• Staff and volunteers can more easily coordinate from a central location.

• It reduces logistical barriers (travel time, access to partners, transport for kids).

• It provides a home base for programming, training, and administration, rather than spreading operations thin across multiple sites.

Investment in Youth

• Establishing a headquarters shows the city and its residents that First Tee is not a temporary initiative, but a long-term partner in youth development.

• It conveys seriousness to stakeholders, demonstrating that the program is here to stay and grow alongside the city’s needs.

Leveraging Strengths

• CITY OF MEMPHIS: Stewardship of public assets, access to infrastructure funding

• TGF: Proven Leadership in golf development, youth programming and private fundraising
