Find the Best Junior Golf Coaches in Doylestown, PA

Keep it short, simple and fun. A little putting on the carpet or soft chips into a basket outdoors can reinforce what the coach taught. Ask your child to show you the main idea from the lesson, which helps them remember it. Try not to add swing advice of your own, since mixed messages can confuse a young player.

Very little to begin with. A few junior clubs sized to your child's height, including a putter, plus some balls and tees are enough. Add comfortable athletic shoes, a hat and water. Avoid cut-down adult clubs, which are usually too heavy and stiff for small players. It is worth asking a coach for advice before buying anything.

Watch for gradual signs rather than big jumps, such as cleaner contact, a better sense of what to practice, or calmer reactions to a poor shot. Brief notes kept at home make progress easier to spot. Coaches can point to changes in technique and scores from practice games. If you are unsure, ask the coach to explain the current goals and how they plan to measure them.
