My son just started playing golf apx 1 month ago and is driving apx 110 yards. Is this good for age 7?????

Uhm, sure. If he enjoys it - and that's the most important thing for a loooooong time - take him to a pro for a lesson.

Make sure you ask around about good pros in your area that deal well with little guys. Some places have spring and summer group lessons for the kids. This is important because as EB said, the most important thing right now is to have fun. Get someone who will teach the basics (grip, stance) in an enjoyable way, the last thing you need is a drill instructor for your 7 year old.

Heck yeah, sounds like the kid is hitting it great! My 6 year old has no interest in golf.

Main thing is to keep it fun for him. If you try and drag him around the course with you for 18 holes you'll lose his interest. No more than 30 minutes at a time should you have him out there. And remember - always make it fun and make everything a game. Don't keep score, and make the shots and putts some sort of game within itself.
