In its 37th year, the Junior Golf Association of Arizona (JGAA) hosts the 2025 Itty Bitty Open on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at 22 valley-wide locations. Open FREE of charge to all kids 3-5 years old, the event offers golf clinics (three per location 9, 10 and 11 AM) where juniors and parents learn basics skills taught by qualified PGA and LPGA professionals. Kids then participate in fun-filled, non-competitive golf games and tournaments. Each golfer receives 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.
“For 37 years, the Itty Bitty Open serves as a terrific opportunity for parents to introduce their children to the game of golf,” said Scott McNevin, Executive Director of the JGAA. “In fact, adults who attended decades ago are now bringing their kids, so the second generation is already here.”
A special contest with prizes will be held 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 congratulatory letter and a trophy.
