Encourage the Love of Golf in your Children
As another spring is (thankfully) on the horizon, there’s only one thing on children’s minds: summer vacation. Plenty of kids are already daydreaming about how they will be spending their time this summer Maybe they imagine endless hours by the pool with their friends. Perhaps they envision taking bike rides to the local ice cream store to find relief from the unbearable heat and humidity. Yes, those are all summer activities that are certainly day-dream worthy. But there is one more event that we firmly encourage children of all ages to get enthusiastic about; practicing their golf game.
Some kids might say, “Golf is something my dad likes!” or “That’s a boring sport!” But in our totally unbiased opinion, these statements could not be further from the truth. But how do you get your child to understand that golf isn’t just an adult sport? That in fact, golf is a complex and entertaining game that is not only exciting, but requires a great deal of skill and precision?
Here are a few ways to encourage children’s enthusiasm for golf this summer season:
Remind them Golf is Fun
Everyone’s favorite part of the summer season is having the opportunity to spend the entire day outdoors; so, teach your children that being on the golf course for nine or eighteen holes is the perfect day to take in the sunshine and be outside. Not only that, but it’s important to emphasize that golf is a game that perfectly marries skill, precision and fun in a supportive environment.
Make it a Family Affair
There is no better time than the summer season than to pack up the car with your golf clubs and gather your children on a Saturday morning. You’ll create memories with them that will surely last a lifetime and will create a unique nostalgia for the sport.
Emphasize that Practice makes Perfect
Keeping a child active in the sport when they first take it up and encouraging frequent
practice will certainly keep them interested in golf.
