In its 33rd year, the Junior Golf Association of Arizona (JGAA) will host the 2021 Itty Bitty Open on Saturday, Jan. 16, at 21 Valleywide locations, including Rio Vista Community Center, 8866 W. Thunderbird Road, Peoria.
Open to all kids age 3-5 years old, the free event offers three clinic times per location starting at 9, 10 and 11 a.m. where juniors and their parents will learn the basics skills of golf taught by qualified PGA and LPGA professionals.
After the clinics, the kids will then participate in non-competitive golf games and tournaments. Each golfer will receive a set of plastic golf clubs (right handed only), balls, a bag, and a visor. Participants are asked to leave their own clubs at home. An adult “caddie” must accompany each golfer.
“Itty Bitty Open is a great way for parents to introduce their children to the game of golf,” JGAA Executive Director Scott McNevin stated in a news release. “In fact, after 33 years, adults who attended Itty Bitty Open decades ago are now bringing their kids, so the second generation is already here.”
A special contest with prizes will take place at each session for the “Best Dressed Golfer and Caddie Team.” Anything goes: classic golf fashion; contemporary golf fashion; or any unique golf duds that may come to mind. All winners will receive a trophy.
Space is limited. Registration deadline is Monday, Jan. 11.
