How Soon Is Too Soon?

photo credit: nakimusi Tiger Woods was introduced to the game of golf at the age of two. Does that mean that every two year old will have the same interest in swinging a golf club? Introducing a youngster to the game should be a natural progression, not a forced duty.
As a golf instructor in elementary schools, I have noticed that children have very pure and natural swings. Working with youngsters is much less challenging than you might think. Adults develop bad swing habits, whereas, children have no bad habits to work through.
As long as there is an interest, any age is the right age for a youngster to begin to swing a golf club. Keep in mind that although children are fast learners they require patience and guidance.
