Golf: A Great Sport for Any Child

March 14th, 2025



Golf is one of the few sports that is known to be played for a lifetime.  There is truly something in it for everyone, especially children. Young people have the opportunity to learn about respect, responsibility, perseverance, positive self-talk, helping their playing partners/opponents and very specific course etiquette, all of which can be applied throughout life.

 

When children are brought into the game, they can make friends from all walks of life and playing abilities. Golf can also help them to develop their hand eye coordination, balance, their sense of “feel” and critical thinking skills. Your child will also be able to spend long periods of time outdoors, learning about agronomy, different climates and much more.

 

Golf is a rapidly growing sport and there is no time like the present to become involved.  Whether it is a camp, private coaching, group lessons or simply personal experimentation, all options are a start to your child’s journey in a sport which lasts forever!
