Kids National Golf Championship Tournament in Binghamton

Kid's (boys and girls 8-14) from all across the country for the 5th straight year are coming to the Southern Tier to participate in the USGLL National Championship golf tournament.

This year, it will be held at the Vestal Hills Country Club in Binghamton. The USGLL National Championship was created seven years ago. The hope is to one day grow this tournament and have the event be like the baseball Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa.

Maybe even have it broadcast on the Golf Channel. This is an awesome opportunity to see some of the best young golfers in the country in our backyard.

My son, Devon has been a part of the USGLL for many years and has participated in the National Championship including the very first one in California.

He's too old for the tournament now but still helps out. I told Devon that he's a part of something special and no one can take that away.

The event runs August 8th-11th. It's some amazing golf, so I hope you'll help support them as they continue to grow the game of golf.

There are other ways to support this awesome tournament and to help out the kids. To find out how to help and learn more about the 2016 USGLL National Championship, go here.
