FAQ
Questions parents ask
How regularly should my child have lessons?
It depends on what the player wants from the game. A young beginner who is just having fun needs less structure than a player preparing for events. The key is leaving enough time between lessons to practice what was taught. If your child starts to feel rushed or loses interest, easing off for a while is perfectly reasonable.
At what age can a child start golf lessons?
Readiness matters more than a birthday. A child is usually ready when they can follow simple instructions, stay focused on a short activity and show real interest in hitting balls. Early lessons for young beginners should feel like play, with lots of movement and quick tasks. If your child enjoys it and asks to go back, the timing is right.
What should my child expect at their first lesson?
Mostly introductions and a relaxed look at the basics. Coaches usually chat with a new player about any golf they have tried, then check fundamentals such as posture, aim and how the club is held. Many start near the green with putting or short chips, where early success builds confidence.
