Surprise hosting Itty Bitty Open to teach golf to kids

Posted

Join the city of Surprise on Saturday, Jan. 13 for the Itty Bitty Open, a way to introduce children to golf.

This free event has three clinic times starting at 9, 10 and 11 a.m.

Juniors and their parents will learn the basic skills of golf taught by qualified PGA and LPGA professionals at Marley Park Heritage Park, 15126 W. Sweetwater Ave.

After the clinic, kids will participate in fun-filled, non-competitive golf games. Each golfer will receive a set of plastic golf clubs, balls, a bag and a visor. Participants are asked to leave their own clubs at home. An adult “caddie” must accompany each golfer.

A special contest with prizes will be held at each session for the “Best Dressed Golfer and Caddie Team.”

Classic golf fashion, contemporary golf fashion or any unique golf duds that may come to mind.

Winners will receive a congratulatory letter, trophy and two tickets for the R.S. Hoyt Jr. Dream Day Activities on Feb. 6 at the 2024 Waste Management Phoenix Open (kids are already allowed to attend at no charge, so the tickets are for parents or other adults).

Space is limited, sign up now.

All participants must register by Jan. 5 through the Junior Golf Association of Arizona.
