Tips For Starting What age is best? Whenever you can show them a good time and have fun. When to quit? When it stops being fun or your child loses interest. Plan some different types of activities to shift interest and attention. Some things you can do. Hit a tennis ball. Putt to different parts of the house. Chip over boxes. Stand on one leg (left leg is best, for right hander) and putt, chip or swing. Be creative. How do I teach grip? Don't force it, reinforce it. Keep it simple. Stress thumbs on top and to keep both hands on the club. Don't talk a lot. Keep putting their hands on the club as often as you can get away with it. Right or left hand? The kick test works good. If they kick a ball with the right foot they probably will play golf right handed. How about clubs? One club to start. Spark their interest. Play games and challenges to let them earn more clubs. My choices; first the putter, followed by a 7-iron, then the fairway wood.
