In 6 more months my son will have his 1st birthday and aside from all the toys I'm sure he's likely to get...I'd like to get him a nice lightweight short putter. Even if he never uses it...or if he uses it destructively and I have to take it away...it's still something I really want him to have.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking something around 15". I noticed most toddler putters are still around 28" which I think is ridiculous because an average putter size for adults are usually 34".

I've seen really short ones.  I had one less than 20 inches when my son and God kids were little.  I found it at Play it Again Sports.  Check places like that if you have them in your area.  the putter head was smaller too.

I think that's where Robert Garigos got his little putter. Or maybe it was Toys Are Us. (Just joking).

Crim - I got my daughter a plastic set ($3 at Walmart) when she was 1. She couldn't really do more than just wildly swing at furniture, toys, legs, etc. until she was 3. At that point I picked up a real kids set, and it wasn't until this past winter that she could make contact consistently (she turns 5 in a month). Every kid is different, but my experience was that a plastic or Nerf set is the way to go when they're that little.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
