The Pepsi Little People's Golf Championships have a long tradition of great competition for kids of all ages but its focus on the kids experience and sportsmanship that make this tournament so special.  With any organization, the energy and spirit flows from the top and Nan Ryan, Founder and Executive Director, supplies that passion every year.

The championships are open to boys and girls 3 through 17.  Plus, a collegiate level is open to men and women 18-21.  All ages will play June 21-23, 2010, on six golf courses in the Quincy, IL area, and Macomb IL.  Entry forms for both events will be available on the Little People's web site in February 2010.

Nan started this tournament in 1974 with 174 players.  Today, more than 800 compete traveling in from every state in the US and some even from foreign countries.  It's become the 3rd largest junior golf tournament in the world.  Even with this success, Nan's focus remains staunchly with the kids' experience and providing a positive atmosphere allowing the little people memorable moments for a lifetime.

Life experiences like these help shape lives, foster friendships and brings a community together.  If you have haven't participated yet, you're missing a fantastic tournament.  If you're a parent and you're thinking of entering your child or children, get in touch with Nan.  It's an experience your child shouldn't miss.
