Re: Children's golf

Great,

My son is now 9 he has just joined my golf club last week, although he has only played about five rounds of golf in his life.

Since he started when he was four I took him to the range for a couple of years every Saturday morning, the assistant pro did group lessons for £3.00.

Then for the last two years he had group lessons at a different club that let them practice hitting off grass, they also did bunker shots and a mars bar for the winner in the putting comp.

He is just nine now and can drive about 150yds, he chips and putts great, I hoping he really enjoys his first year in golf.

All through this time I bought cheap clubs from the **** basket ladies carbon shaft when possible and cut them down to size, this is the cheapest and easiest way to keep up with fitted clubs.

He had a driver for Christmas, the origional Cobra 370 and I have cut 12 inches off and re-gripped it.

Hope this helps.

Ian.
