Should I purchase a "kids set" or cut a couple oldies down to size?

Go the route of the kid's set. U.S. Kids Golf makes a good bunch, but Nike and some other folks do too.

I recently got a Ping Moxie set for my 8yo son. It is a really nice set. I don't think they make anything for smaller kids, but the Lynx stuff at Golfsmith looks pretty nice. My son used to have a cheaper kids set we got at Academy, but didn't use it too much.

I went the US Kids route, on my son's first birthday I bought him a set of the red series. Eventhough the clubs were extremely small, due to their weight, my son was not able to lift them to the top of his back swing until he turned 3.

I wound up picking up a toy set from Toys R Us. I believe the brand was Fisher Price and I was pleased with them. It came with a wheeled cart, 3 clubs and balls. The clubs were hollowed out plastic, so he had no issue swinging them. The clubs that were included each had their own characteristics resembling a driver, an iron and a putter. At 2 years old, my son would challenge me to chipping balls over the row of bushes in our yard. For the $20 some odd dollars that I had spent on them, they were a great introduction to golf for a child so young.

This year, my son has just turned 7, and for his birthday I got him the Callaway XJ set. The clubs are still a tad bit long for him, but he has gotten a huge jump in distance over the last 3 US Kids sets he has had. I figure that he will grow into them by the beginning of next season.

My son is extremely tall for his age (I am 6'6" and my wife is 6'4") so this may not be an option for your daughter until she is 8 or 9. Both the Callaway set the previous mentioned Ping Moxie set are extremely well built, but I would have your daughter measured and compare to the clubs length, being most of the time these junior clubs are available for testing before purchase.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
