Over 200 entries were submitted from 15 different countries
Orlando, Florida – For the 13th time, children from across the globe recorded their golf swings and submitted entries for the “Best Pee Wee Golf Swing in the World” video contest, created and supported by Little Linksters, LLC.
The popular contest allows parents to upload a video of their Little Linksters swing to YouTube. This year, submissions came flowing in from the Monday after the Masters in April and on through to just after the TOUR Championship.
Winners were crowned in six age groups – from ages 1 to 12. The inclusive contest urged all children to participate, regardless of playing ability. In all, the contest saw just shy of 220 entries pour in from 15 different countries.
Once again, heavy hitters, including two World Golf Hall of Famers, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, joined the cause to help judge the contest.
They were joined by a team of esteemed U.S. and International PGA and LPGA teaching professionals—U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Master Kids coaches Michelle Holmes from Virginia Beach, Zoe Allen from Ireland, Tom Reid from the UK, acclaimed Canadian instructor Jason Helman, legendary PGA Professional Bob Baldassari, and the 2024 PGA of America Teacher and Coach of the Year, Joe Hallett. Little Linksters founder Brendon Elliott, the PGA’s National Youth Player Development award winner in 2017, rounded out the judging panel.
“In what has been an incredibly challenging year, we were determined to offer this opportunity to children and showcase to the golf world what the youngest among us can do with a golf club. This contest is primarily about fun and celebrating a game that is blind to age. Over the years, we have been extremely humbled by the response to this contest, both from a participant and judging standpoint. I’m as proud this year as I’ve ever been.”
