I was putting in the family room the other day and my two year old son got a big kick out of it. He wanted to hit the ball as well so I helped him. He was a little impatient about getting his hands to grip the club like you normally would but he jumped with joy when he hit it, he would even run after the ball so he could bring it back. He also like to stand all the way across the house and have me hit it towards him so he could try to catch it and then bring it back.

Two days later we are just finishing dinner and my son is running around with this little red plastic hammer. Next he takes this plastic ball which is a little bigger than a golf ball, sits down and starts whacking the ball around the room and says he is golfing! I couldn't believe my eyes! Now I have "permission" to go out a buy a toy set at Toy'R'Us this evening (two platic woods A plastic bag that feeds plastic balls onto a tee. . I am probably going to hold off on getting a real toddler set (Wood, Iron, Wedge, putter) for a year or so, but this could be a very interesting not to mention fun.

Anyone have any other suggestions on what type of golf items a 2-year old might enjoy?

I have that same plastic ball setter/bag combo with clubs, and frankly, I think that's all you need for now. When your kid turns four, you can look at the U.S. Kids Golf stuff.

I can think of only one other thing and that is plenty of dad's time. As my kids are both teenagers spend all the time you can with him and the golf because it will go by quicker than you think.

My son is four, and he has a little Nike mid iron and putter, and a little golf bag. He comes to the range with me and hits balls. It's a blast, and I just let him do whatever comes naturally.

Sink a couple of cans in to the back and front lawns and let him play to them, my grandfather did that when I was a very little kid and I have been playing ever since.

I did it for my younger brother 20+ years ago and he plays off a handicap of about 2 these days. I did it for my son and we are just about to start putting some cards in at the club we are both a member of so that he can get his first handicap.

My youngest daughter is now actively participating in putting contests around the house with my son, might be time to look at getting her some clubs as well...

If the blur that has been the last two years is any indication, I know driving and college are right around the corner! Scary how fast time really flies when you actually see it measured in the growth of a child.

That's really cool. I just saw a guy at the local Par-3 course last week who was just starting and had his 5 year old son with him. Apparently they were starting together so dad would have someone to play with.

I'm hoping my son picks up the game quickly. He's 20 months now and has been playing with his plastic golf set for about 7 months now. I can't wait to take him to the driving range!

    • 12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp
    • Day 357: played 27 holes. +6 total - pretty pleased. Only negative was missing the hole 3 times from within 4 feet…
    • Day 1: 7/12/25 exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!
    • Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.
    • Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.
