Fun Golf Game For Juniors

There are numerous challenges that make it difficult for any golfer to play the sport. And it’s especially difficult for golfers learning the game for the first time. The humbling progression of success is usually; making contact with the ball, hitting the ball out of your shadow, and then hitting the ball in the air. It sounds so easy but once you’ve gotten the ball airborne that’s when the challenges really begin! It can be a very humbling experience for a golfer, who otherwise might be considered an athlete, to play a game that more closely resembles hockey than that of golf. In truth, we all know it doesn’t get a lot easier and at the conclusion of most rounds, we describe the pitfalls with, “I played decent but had 4, 3-putts” or “I got stuck in the woods and made that 8” or “I would’ve played well had I not lost 7 golf balls”. Additionally, keeping the interest your junior golfer has for the game of golf may also not be easy.

Somewhere between the ages of 4 and 12, try getting your junior golfer to play a round of golf; without any 3-putts, without hitting any trees, and to finish with the same ball with which he started. The thought being that finding small wins in the middle of round filled with chunks and worm-burners is important to keeping the game fun. I guarantee they’ll find more enjoyment from avoiding the pond filled with frog, turtles, and ducks, than learning the intricacies of the spine angle and body alignment.

Try introducing this game to your junior golfer and let’m hack away!
