Hello

I'm doing some instructing work my the YMCA I work at(no golf course accessible) and I was wondering if you guys had and fun games for young golfers(10 and under)...we have limited equipment (clubs, balls, and rollout "green") and am drawing a blank on fun ideas for kids to get into golf.  Thank You!!

Maybe a putting contest? Place a small pole or flat marker about 15 or so feet away. Each kid gets three putts, the closest overall putt wins. Or maybe grab a hulahoop and set it up maybe 10 or so feet away. Let the bottom rest on the ground and prop the back up on a chair so that the hoop is angled up at about a 45* angle. Let the kids use a wedge or short iron and try to chip through the hoop. I don't know what skill level they have, but if they can't hit the ball off a mat get them a 1/8" rubber tee to use. Each kid gets a few tries and each ball that goes through the hoop earns a point. Most points wins. The more hula-hoops you have, the more kids can participate at the same time.

"Golf is an entire game built around making something that is naturally easy - putting a ball into a hole - as difficult as possible." - Scott Adams

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily.

      Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
