THE FIRST TEE

---

Plainfield West 9 Proudly hosts The “First Tee” Golf Program for Children

Research has determined that the primary reason more children, especially those economically disadvantaged, did not play golf was because of the lack of places that welcomed them, places they could physically get to, and places they could afford.

The World Golf Foundation created The First Tee in November of 1997 to bring golf to youngsters that otherwise would not be exposed to the game and its positive values; they also played an important role in garnering the support of golf’s major organizations to grow and promote The First Tee.

The first private club in the country to become a First Tee affiliate, Plainfield Country Club is giving back to our game by providing the venue – the Plainfield West Nine – and support that brings golf and life values to the youth of our community.
 
The First Tee Program at Plainfield West Nine is under the the expert leadership of premier golf teacher and West Nine Head Golf Professional Bill Castner. Castner, a Master Golf Professional, has won the Junior Golf Leadership award from the NJPGA the past four years, and has been a finalist for the national Junior Golf award the past three years. He is also TPI Certified in Junior Golf.

Plainfield Country Club proudly hosted The Barclays First Tee Tri-Match in August, 2009.  Video from The Barclays First Tee Tri-Match available by clicking here.
