Practical answers, with links to the right program, assessment, or pathway.
Beginner Golf for Kids
Keep the first experience simple: safety, grip, putting, chipping, and fun. Beginner group classes build a steady foundation without rushing.
What Age Should Kids Start Golf?
There's no single right age. Interest, attention span, and following safety directions matter more than starting early. Use the Program Finder for an age-appropriate first step.
Private vs. Group Junior Golf Lessons
Group lessons build routine and friendships; private lessons focus on a golfer's own goals. Many juniors use both.
What to Expect at a First Golf Assessment
A coach gets to know the golfer, watches core skills, and recommends a program. It's a relaxed session, not a pass-or-fail tryout.
How Parents Can Help Kids Practice
Short, consistent practice beats long sessions. Celebrate effort, let the coach handle technical fixes, and use pathway goals to track progress.
Junior Tournament Preparation
Prepare the routine as well as the swing: review the format, pack early, arrive with time to settle in, and keep the post-round conversation focused on learning.
What Clubs Does a Junior Golfer Need?
Start with properly sized, lightweight clubs, not a full adult set. If your child doesn't have clubs yet, tell the team when you set up an assessment or first lesson.
