Before you begin teaching golf to your kids, please keep a few things in mind. First, golf is a game for a lifetime and whether a kid takes advantage of that opportunity is up to you. Try to keep it fun and help them develop a love for the game. Second, golf is a difficult, skills oriented sport.

activities. On one trip, my daughter was fascinated by the ball machine. For a while, my son’s favorite part was getting a Sprite after hitting some balls. He liked that I gave him the whole bottle instead of just a little in a cup. As they got bigger, riding in the golf cart was a big thrill, so I found a course where you had a long drive from the pro shop to the range.


All this was doing was making sure they had a good experience and their early memories are positive. Over time, the trips get longer and the kids do a bit more golfing. As this starts to happen you can begin to focus on the fundamentals
