Game Changers is the capstone experience at First Tee Utah. 

Game Changers is for the older, more accomplished First Tee kids. Membership and participation in Game Changers must be earned. 

Game Changers is where we practice the golf lifestyle… where we live the key commitments that First Tee kids make… where we become the community leaders, the people of character who serve others, the successful adults that First Tee teaches us to be. Game Changers is that last step leading to college, careers, families, and all those great things waiting in our future. 

We play a lot of golf in Game Changers. Hey, we are who we are! But this is not an instruction class. If you’re looking for instruction please check out one of the Golf for Life classes for your age group at any of the First Tee locations around the state. Or, check out one of the skills classes taught at Golf The Round and other locations. Or maybe do them both. In fact, we encourage you to continue to attend Golf for Life class and skills classes after you’re a member of Game Changers. 

In addition to playing golf, we’ll learn things in Game Changers to help us prepare for our lives to come. We’ll hear from special speakers and presenters, people who can inspire, guide, and maybe even change our life. We will do fun outings, such as attending Bees games, Jazz games, and movies. We’ll visit businesses and organizations that can help us in our careers. We’ll have special guest teachers on subjects we’ll need to know to navigate the world ahead of us. We will perform service. And we will help you find and connect with mentors who can guide you and support you in your particular life ambitions.

And then we’ll play more golf. But it’s more than golf. Game Changers is social, experiential. We will play, but with a purpose. 

To qualify for Game Changers, you will need:

  • To be at least 15 or at least a sophomore in high school;
  • To have completed at least one session of Golf for Life class, or have completed at least PLAYer level class in the old First Tee curriculum;
  • A recommendation from your First Tee coach. 
  • A commitment to living the First Tee values and being a lifetime golfer who serves others. 

Registration for Game Changers is monthly to allow for seasons when you have other obligations. A membership in Youth on Course is included in Game Changers. Youth on Course is a green fee subsidy program that allows youth to play for $5 or less at select courses. Youth on Course includes a membership in the Utah Golf Association, which provides you with a handicap. Game Changers replaces Teen Club.

Once you receive your Youth On Course GHIN from Coach Paul, download the YOC Member App and create your account and digital YOC Membership Card.

Game Changers location may change each week between playing at a golf course and other activities. Please contact Paul Pugmire after registering for Game Changers to get notified of where they will be meeting each week. Paul’s info is: c: 801.860.4507, email: [email protected]
