Welcome
Thank you for your interest in First Tee – Indiana in Columbus. In 2016, we established a successful partnership with the Columbus Parks Department, which gave us a home base at the Rocky Ford Par 3 Golf Course. With help from the Parks Department and NSP teachers, we doubled our summer participants and expanded our reach in Columbus. This year’s eight-week classes will be led by PGA professional Keith VanDeventer and our certified assistant volunteer coaches.
