Teach kids to play golf
Intro
Teach kids to play golf early and playfully to ignite a lifelong passion for golfing.
These deceptively simple exercises help children building confidence while playing golf. At some point they develop their own initiative and intuition, and naturally begin to explore and expand upon these exercises on their own, ultimately becoming self-directed learners.
Most important strive to practice everyday even if just for a few minutes!
