Since July of 2008, the Little Linksters Golf program has brought the game of golf to a typically non-traditional sect of the golfing population; the “Pee-Wee” Golfer (Ages 3-8). The Little Linksters Golf Program is a great introduction to the game of golf for for all children in this age group. The program is taught in a fun and interactive way using a combination of both traditional golf instruction methods and very non-traditional ways.

Contest entries will be judged by Little Linkster’s founder, PGA Professional Brendon Elliott, who will be assisted by three celebrity golf judges – Annika Sorenstam, Hank Haney and Kelly Sheehan.

Parents were encouraged to participate in this contest by uploading a video of their little linksters on YouTube during the month of December and pasting that video link on the sign up page available on the Little Linksters website.

Prize packages will be awarded in three age categories: 3-4 year olds, 5-6 year olds, and 7-8 year olds. Each prize package is valued at more than $750 and includes items from some of the industry’s best children’s golf apparel, equipment and training aid companies.

Best Pee-Wee Golf Swing in America

“They’re very big advocates in their own right for their own causes. For them to get behind this says a lot about what we’re trying to do,” said Begay, the only full-blooded Native American on the PGA Tour. “It means something to people. The only requirement that Annika had was that she had to make sure her ball wasn’t going to count the whole time. She’s a little worried. You never lose that competitive desire. She wanted to make sure she had a safety net.”

“There’s a mutual interest and there’s a lot of crossover,” Begay said. “She works with a lot of the poor Mexican communities, and to a certain degree they’re partly indigenous. A lot of the indigenous traditions in Mexico are similar to some of the southwestern Native American tribes. I think that she does realize that there are some similarities. If we’re able to support her efforts down the road, we’re certainly going to do that.”

The NB3 Challenge, staged at Turning Stone Resort and Casino’s Atunyote (ah-DUNE’-yote) Golf Club, is a collaboration between the resort’s owner, the Oneida Indian Nation of New York, and the San Manuel Band of Serrano Mission Indians of California.
