How to….get kids into golf

Golf can be great exercise for kids; it helps with spine and core muscles while also improving hand-eye co-ordination and, of course, the mental health benefits of sport are widely known. Golfsupport has put together advice for parents who want to encourage their children to play golf…

• Make it a short game - If you don’t have a golf course near you catered to children, there is no reason you can’t use the adult course. The key to keeping your children entertained is to keep the game short. There’s nothing worse than dragging your children round the course for a five-hour stint when they were bored after two. • Provide them with the right equipment - Too long, too stiff and too heavy are some of the common problems with clubs for children. Make sure before starting a game that your child has the right club relative to their height and stamina. • Give them time to perfect their swing - Make sure to give them enough time to practice, perhaps taking them later in the evening or at a time when it’s not crowded. The last thing you want is to play and hold up groups behind you. • Keep it fun and criticism low - Your child wants to have fun and enjoy their time with you. Even if your child hits an ‘okay’ shot, shout back at them ‘great shot’, or ‘great swing’, to encourage a continuation of play. • Speak in their language - Instead of using complicated terminology, switch it up to something they would understand, relative to their age.
