The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf of Phoenix program is a developmental junior golf program designed for girls ages 5-18. It was formed specifically to create a network for girls to learn to play golf, build friendships and compete in a non-threatening environment.

   The program meets year-round with weekly events in the summer and monthly events during the school year. The tournament formats include scramble, best-ball, team outings, parent/daughter and evening glow ball events. The variety of formats allow the emphasis to be placed on having fun and encourage family involvement.
