ABOUT
the LPGA/USGA Girls Golf of Tucson!
The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf, a developmental
junior program for girls ages 7-17, was formed to create a
network for girls to learn to play golf, build friendships
and sample competition in a positive, supportive learning
environment. The only national initiative of its kind just
for girls, the program provides the opportunity to achieve
success, progress in golf and establish a life-long interest
in the game. The girls learn the basics of the game including
putting, short game, full swing, rules and etiquette. The
next step is to experience play on the golf course and keep
score.
The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf addresses
the need for a positive experience and directs much of its
focus to introducing girls to social competition. During this
time, girls learn how to compete and then ease into the game.
Social competition becomes the bridge between exposing girls
to golf and having them play in a serious competitive event.
The girls get a chance to develop friendships and learn how
to conduct themselves at a tournament.
Three factors that distinguish LPGA-USGA Girls Golf from
other junior programs are:
The multi-levels of instruction for varied abilities
The concept of creating a “network” for girls
Themed golf events
