Age
to Start Playing Golf?
It is suggested
that children have the best golf “learning ability” at 6
years old. Prior to the age of 6 they have a difficult time
grasping the concepts of the game, let alone rules and
regulations.
Cost and Commitment
The cost to play golf
varies, depending on the caliber of the course, time of year,
day of week and time of day. To play a traditional 18 holes of golf,
it generally takes four to five hours.
Golfing takes dedication and practice to
continue to improve the game. It is important to
practice as often as possible.
Golf Lessons
Many of your local private and public
golf courses offer instruction just for children. In
addition, many organizations
or municipalities provide free or low cost clinics for
youngsters eager to learn the game.
The
price of Golf lessons
vary depending on location and experience of instructor.
There are a variety of lessons that are available for
players of all skill levels.
