This article focuses on The Kerr Country juvenile probation officers and their pursuit to use golf to help prevent crime amongst juveniles. The program has only been available to kids being supervised by the Kerr County Probation Office under a partnership with Texas A&M University and an international, golf-oriented youth development organization known as The First Tee. The head of the probation department, John Davis believes that there a lot of similarities between the game of golf and life. The students also are required to attend two-hour class once a week. It is taught by fellow probation officer Carla Schuster; it involves group discussions. His philosophies are that children tend to learn better when they are playing instead of just being instructed. They children don't even realize they are learning, but it shows when they are making healthier choices. There are other volunteers that help overseas the program such as Schreiner University's Greystone Academy students and Texas 4-H volunteers. This program has also been beneficial to the Greystone students, it is required for their program, but it helps them to keep their skills polished, so they can apply for any federal service academy. This program is teaching children that "you are accountable to yourself. You're the one who keeps your scorecard. Your etiquette and demeanor and your attitude will affect your game and your life greatly" (Batura, 2013). Next spring this program will be open to all youth ages 10-18, they want to help build the character of all the youth not just those under their supervision. This type of crime prevention that is being displayed here is policing a community because the probation officers, universities, and the 4-h volunteers play an avid role in the program.
