U.S. Kids Golf Phoenix Spring Tour set to kick off

The U.S. Kids Golf Phoenix spring Local Tour kicked off April 10 at Lone Tree Golf Club, Chandler, AZ. Throughout the spring, U.S. Kids Golf will head to 6 of the finest courses in the Phoenix area.

Lone Tree Golf Club, Arizona Golf Resort, Vista Verde Golf Club, Sundance Golf Club, Talking Stick Golf Club and Wigwam Golf Resort & Spa are among the courses on the spring schedule.

U.S. Kids Golf Local Tours provide boys and girls, ages 5 to 14, the opportunity to advance their golf skills in age-appropriate competition without having to take the time and incur the costs of having to travel long distances.

Similar to the PGA Tour, players at U.S. Kids Golf events are encouraged to have caddies to help them play their best. Allowing caddies is a special component of our tournaments and is part of our commitment to encouraging family interaction that builds lasting memories. Players age 8 and under must have a caddie at all times.

The top five finishers in each age group will receive priority status from U.S. Kids Golf, granting them priority registration for major events. The Player of the Year in each age group will receive green status, the highest level awarded, which results in an invitation to the World Championship, held each year at Pinehurst Resort.
