In 2012, the fourthyear for the program, TICKETS Fore CHARITY was again a tremendous success raising over $750,000 for over 100 charitable partners throughout metropolitan New York and New Jersey.

The mission of The First Tee of Metropolitan New York is to impact the lives of young people by providing learning facilities and education programs that promote character development and life-enhancing values through the game of golf.  TFTMNY services New York City, Long Island, Fairfield, Westchester, and Essex Counties.

The First Tee of Essex County

In August of 2006, The First Tee of Essex County was formed through a partnership between the Metropolitan Golf Association, New Jersey PGA and New Jersey State Golf Association.  Located at Weequahic Park Golf Course in the heart of Newark's South Ward, the organization converted a blighted former dumping site into a beautiful Junior Learning Facility to serve the youth of Essex County.  This facility is a versatile practice area that can be used for short game instruction, a limited flight driving range and a three-hole short course to introduce youth people to the game and its positive values.
