Golf’s FUNdamentals
Your role as a parent

It’s easy to fall into the trap of measuring your child’s relationship with golf by their competitive performance. But their golfing development depends on so much more than that. And here’s where you, as the parent, have an important role to play.

,ncourage your child to take part in a range of sports. This will develop their movement fundamentals: agility, balance, coordination and speed.

Instead of setting expectations of progress and success, focus on what your child wants. Encouragement goes a lot further than analysis.

Play golf with them. Not only will you get to work on your game, you also get to bond and strengthen your relationship with your child.

Most parents think of their child’s golfing journey as a funnel moving from “entry” to “elite”. But actually, it’s not a funnel, it’s a pie with FUN at its core.

Elite performance is part of the journey for a FEW children. What’s more important is that fun and healthy development are part of the journey for ALL children, regardless of skill. Really effective coaching develops golfing skills along with a love for the game.
