How can parents tell when a child is ready to start?

Readiness is more about behavior than size or skill. Signs to watch for include enjoying swinging a club or rolling a ball at a target, waiting for a turn, and staying with a simple task without drifting off. If most of these are present, talking with a coach about your child can help you judge the timing. If not, waiting a little longer does no harm.

What equipment does a beginner need?

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.
