How to Start Children in Golf

THE BEST PLACE to start children on the course is near the hole.

By sinking short putts on the practice green, they will get an immediate sense of success.

Once they start sinking two and three-foot putts on a regular basis, take the children out to five or six feet and have them play the following game.

Begin by having them putt to a 16-ounce Coke Bottle.

After they start hitting the bottle regularly, put it in the hole and place five or six golf balls in a circle around it.

Remove the bottle and have them putt to the hole.

Since the bottle is smaller than the hole, once they realize they can hit the bottle with no problem, finding the hole should be much easier.
