The First Tee of Mid-Michigan is the culmination of a community effort to create a first class learning environment for Mid-Michigan youths to learn important life skills, to interact with positive mentors, and to be exposed to the game of golf.

Thanks to the charitable efforts of Kris Nicholoff, Greg Eaton, Tom Jamieson and Chuck Clark (among others), working through The First Tee of Michigan, the Sycamore Golf Learning Center was built.  This building serves as the nerve center of our operation during the golf season, and is located at 1526 East Mt. Hope, Lansing, Michigan.  The Learning Center has a large area for instruction of our participants, a meeting room and a small office.

After the Learning Center was finished all it needed was kids!  Jeff Green and J.V. Anderton energized the drive for the Mid-Michigan region to have its own Chapter of The First Tee, with the first participants taking their swings in the 2008 season.

The Learning Center is affiliated with the City of Lansing’s Sycamore Driving Range.  The Driving Range also has a putting green, a short-game chipping area and two practice holes.

Children ages 8-17 can join The First Tee of Mid-Michigan for a $50 fee (scholarships are available).  The activity fee allows members to utilize the golf courses, Learning Center, and enters them into The First Tee Like Skills Program.
