The First Tee Greater Atlantic City
Description
Individual responsibility, respect, integrity and confidence are all among the traits that can help a young person on the road to success. Unfortunately, these are also traits that are often identified as missing in the character development of many of our young people today. To the extent these traits are missing, it is not because our youth have rejected them, but it is because they have not had the opportunity to be taught these lessons in an engaging way.
Sports have been traditional vehicles for teaching such lessons, but today, sport at its highest levels, is played in an atmosphere where we have a preponderance of athletes who deny they have responsibility to be role models, let alone idols of the young.
There is, however, a sport that not only continues to teach positive life lessons, but also depends on an adherence to them for its very existence. That sport, of course, is golf.
