What can parents do at home to reinforce lessons?
Help your child turn putting and short chips into games, since they are easy to practice at home and matter a lot on the course. You might count how many putts in a row they can make. Use foam or plastic balls if space is tight. Above all, keep practice brief and upbeat so it feels like play rather than homework.
What gear does a new golfer need to get started?
Beginners do not need a full set. Junior clubs that match your child's height and strength make learning easier, and a wedge, an iron, a wood and a putter cover the basics. Used clubs work well because kids outgrow them quickly. Add a glove if your child prefers wearing it, plus balls, tees and shoes with good grip.
