When your child first picks up a golf club and takes their first swing, you can see the excitement and joy in their eyes. As a parent, you want to nurture this interest and help them develop their skills. But golf is a complex game, and it can be daunting for beginners. That’s why it’s important to set achievable goals and guide your child through their development in steps.

One way to do this is by focusing on the basics, like aim, grip, stance, posture, alignment, and ball position to build a stable and repetitive set up that they understand is 85% of a good shot, also by breaking down the game into manageable pieces, bridges to cross so your child can build confidence and see progress faster. instead of slowing them to aim for perfection, encourage them to focus on getting the ball in the air first, to develop their confidence that they will do this every time . This will help them see that they are capable of playing the game and give them the motivation to continue improving.

Golf is also a competitive game, and your child will likely be playing with others and being watched by others. This can be intimidating, but it’s important to get your child used to being watched as they play. Start by finishing practice sessions with a mini competition, where they know you are watching. Over time, they will become more comfortable playing in front of others and will be able to focus on their own game rather than worrying about what others may think.

As your child’s abilities improve, it’s important to change their goals and continue challenging them. This will help them become confident players who enjoy the game and have the ability to win. Golf is a lifelong sport, and by teaching your child to develop their skills and enjoy the journey, you are setting them up for success both on and off the golf course. So, encourage and support them through their golf development and watch them grow into skilled and confident players.
