my club offered a free junior lesson to anyone who turned up, so I took him down and we were the only ones there! I was surprised nobody else took this offer! He got an hours free coaching with a PGA pro, who then told me he was welcome to stay for another hour and join the group of juniors who get coached weekly! He really enjoyed the coaching and has asked to join the 8 week programme they have for junior beginners, (junior passport to golf) it's endorsed by the PGA. and it seems like a well structured coaching system for children, just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of it?

Yes, I'm trying to lay foundations for us to spend some quality time together as we grow older! I was going to wait till next summer but this opportunity was thrust upon us and he took it, I think 10 years of age is a good age to begin!

Fantastic! My kids a little younger (8 and 6) but I take them to the local First Tee course and let them just beat the ball around. Only guidance so far is aim the body and club and right hand on the bottom.

    • Day 128: 5/3/24 Spent 10 minutes chipping and putting at The Creek golf course after visiting a relative.  Greens are slow, and I putted quite well. Perhaps I should seek courses with much slower greens!
    • Not to take away from the OP's question but the Snell 3.0 is about all you could ask for in a ball. I'm not a paid spokesman and my opinion does not reflect on the owner of the site. Lexi Thompson could beat most people with a Top Flite, or a Nitro. Ben Griffin? He doesn't offer a lot of street cred so I'll pass. Now if Fat Perez or Heavy Ballesteros start using it then?????? 😀
    • Just read that Peter Oosterhuis passed away. He was the one and only celebrity I have asked for an autograph! In September 2007, I was in the Charlotte Airport awaiting a flight reading my October 2007 Golf Magazine. It was during the FedEx playoffs and Tiger had just won the previous tournament with the Tour Championship the next event. I watched the event listening to the dulcet tones of Peter Oosterhuis, among others. I opened the magazine, and started reading an article about Oosterhuis and the opening picture had him posing as James Bond in a movie’s opening sequence. I looked up from the article and he was sitting directly across from me!    I approached and showed him the article and asked if he would sign the photo. Mr. Oosterhuis asked “Are you keen on golf?” When I responded positively, we spoke for about 10 minutes discussing the fact that both Phil and Tiger had won FedEx events prior to the Tour Championship. He was very gracious and a wonderful storyteller. I was saddened by his battles with dementia and missed him on CBS’s telecasts. 
    • Day 50. Hand path follow through and face control technique work. 🤯 in a good way. 
    • I have been playing the Tour X for several years and find it to be a great ball. I buy them at Golf Galaxy and they often run sales. Was able you buy a box of 48 for $90 after applying a coupon from Dick’s Sporting Goods. I am a big fan!
