We signed Josh up for golf again with First Tee of Pasadena. He is now in the Player level. This level teaches the game of golf, the First Tee Code of Conduct, appreciating rules and etiquette, and the First Tee Nine Core Values. The Code of Conduct includes respect for self, others and for surroundings. The Core Values are honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment.
This time around, the kids were given a book that included the lesson they covered at practice. The kids had "homework" to do each week that included telling how they showed the week's core value toward themselves, others and their surroundings. We are fans of this program because it teaches more than just the game of golf.
Josh has had the same coach for three sessions and he said that Josh was improving. If you ask him if he likes golf, Josh will say it's "OK". He would rather stay home; but if he has to do something active, this seems to be his choice of activity. We'll take a break for the summer; but likely sign him up again in the fall.
