How Young is too Young?

photo credit: SearchNetMedia There is no absolute answer as to when to start a child playing the game of golf. If your child expresses a desire to swing a golf club (what child doesn't like to swing things) your first step is to accommodate him/her. There are many manufacturer's that make plastic clubs with over-sized clubfaces to make it easier for the adolescent to strike the ball.
The idea is to generate enthusiasm. Most of the time when junior sees his parents in the back yard practicing their swing, they will instinctively want to emulate the motion of the golf swing. It's also a good idea to take your kid golfing. Riding in the cart is a strong incentive to get involved in what “daddy” is doing; playing golf.
It is my belief the families should start getting back to activities that create more unity. Golf is one activity that the entire family can enjoy together. It’s really up to the guidance that parents can give their kids.
Thanks for the comment.
