Some of the best mini-golfers in the Foothills made their way to the Crystal Ridge Golf Club on Wednesday for the first even Mini Masters tournament.

Crystal Ridge's Head Pro Greg Johnson says given the circumstances, it was a great turnout.

"We saw some pretty good support today (Wednesday)," he says. "Unfortunately, due to the smoke, we did have quite a few families that weren't able to make it, they had some children with asthma and other breathing issues. All-in-all, for our first annual event, I think it went really really well."

With all green fees going to KidSport Okotoks, the tournament brought in $1,115 for the local charity.

Johnson says KidSport is an organization that is close to his heart.

Golfers of all ages made their way to Crystal Ridge on Wednesday and put their skills to the test on the Maxman's Mini Golf Course.

"It's really important to get kids involved in sport, and especially kids that might not have the opportunity to partake in organized sports," he says. "I've had a lot of opportunities come to me, now as a golf professional, through organized sport, and I'd like to see other kids in the community get the same advantages that I got, and same opportunities that I got."

Johnson says the Mini Masters was also a great way to promote the sport of golf to the younger generation.

"Kids are starting to watch golf on TV, and this is kind-of the age where they're starting to learn the sports they like," he says. "So we get them out to the golf course to experience competition, even if it's just a mini-golf course, they go out there and have fun, have a little bit of competition, and it's a great day to be had out there."

Brooklyn Kidd took landed the title of the first ever Mini Master, and took home a brand new iPad Mini for her troubles.
