Does Shane help players prepare for college golf?

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 is the difference between an academy and individual lessons?

Individual lessons offer close attention and quick adjustments for your golfer, while an academy adds routine, friendly competition and more time hitting shots. Neither is right for everyone. Think about your child's personality, how much structure they enjoy and what they want from golf. A coach can help you decide which setting fits, and the answer may change over time.
