Kids

Teaching kids is alot of fun. Don't over burden them with details of the game.

Distance - The main thing with kids under 8 try to get them to swing fast. Control will come later. When kids get older 8-10 they don't swing through. If they are taught at an early age, they will have distance as they get older.

Short game - Play games with them. Putting games are great, they may even beat you. Tell them you are equal on and around the green and they will concentrate more at their short game.

If you need some games to play let me know. My son is 11 and has been playing since age 8.
