As parents we can't choose what will interest our kids for the long term. I really would like my daughter(5) to take up golf as a life long passion. She has the kids set of clubs and has done group lessons, but I don't push. For activities we rotate between dance, tennis, soccer, and golf. I make an honest effort not to push her towards golf, because pushing towards can mean pushing away. I just want to make sure she is exposed and knows golf is out there waiting for her to fall in love with it.
I've read some articles from sports career "experts" and some say that for a youth that sports selections should not be isolated to a single sport until 16 or 17 years of age. So my daughter will continue to play a few different sports until I can better steer her towards golf.
