(FTSV Parents-Guardians Participate in FREE Golf Clinic Published 11/9/2026) On Saturday, November 7th, First Tee – Silicon Valley held a free golf clinic for FTSV parents/guardians at Rancho del Pueblo Golf Course. Thank you so much to all who attended! We hope that everyone had fun, learned helpful golf techniques, and gained confidence to play with your child(ren).
During the clinic, FTSV’s program staff and volunteer coaches demonstrated how we structure our classes and curriculum. A special thanks goes out to two of our Board Ambassadors, Dick Budelli and Matthew Cunningham, for also helping with the coaching. Together, we introduced our Golf Cue curriculum and offered all parents/guardians individual golf tips. Afterwards, parents put their new skills to the test with fun games just like it’s done in our participant classes.
FTSV believes that when parents/guardians understand and are involved in their participants’ golf journey, everyone has more fun and sees improvement more quickly. Our goal is to provide the resources and guidance so that the parents/guardians feel motivated to join their kid(s) and play together as a family.
Starting any sport can feel intimidating. With golf, there are terms and jargon that can be challenging, so we have a resource document and a video that details what you need to know to get range balls, set a tee time, and everything else you need to know when playing on a golf course.
We encourage parents/guardians to practice during their kid’s class. If you don’t have clubs, please come ask us, or ask to borrow/check out clubs at the pro-shop. Our coaches and staff are available and happy to provide additional information about playing/practicing golf.
Golf is a game you can enjoy your whole life. From everyone at FTSV, we hope to see you out at the course.
