My kids are not old enough to even think about driving the cart, but I remember when I was a kid I would sit in my grandfathers lap and he would let me drive b/c I could not reach the pedals. Right when I could reach the pedals he would let me drive without his assistance. He kinda raised me to be well disciplined, so I do not think he was worried about me doing something stupid on it.

Maybe once it warms up and I go to the course this year I will let my 4 year old sit on my lap and try to drive some. She loves to come with me when I play golf because she loves the cart so much. Its actually really good father daughter bonding time.

My son was allowed to drive for the first time when he was 6.  Like most others, I wouldn't let him drive near cliffs, bridges, or across roads or anything.  He's almost 8 now and that is still the case.  This is from the first time, June, 2015:

(I like how "gently" he depressed the gas when I tell him to go.) :-P

I had my daughter driving me around as soon as she could reach the pedal and we were away from the clubhouse.  

I even had her driving my car around the neighborhood a couple years before getting her permit. Shhhh- don't tell mom. Our little secret. 

To this day, she's proud of being the best driver of any of her friends. I visited her in Italy in August (my avatar is a course near her), and man, can she fly down the Autostrasse at some serious speed!!!!

@Gaetano Fasano knows how fast they can drive in northern Italy. 

 

hahaha :-D, you're right RandallT. Confirmed. 

My daugther started this year (she's 8) but controls the steering only, me the pedals ;-).

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
