My 6 year old nephew, 2nd ever time at driving range

[JodieMudd]

This is my 6 year old nephew.  This was during only his 2nd ever visit picking up a club at the local driving range.

I know there are a lot of good youngsters out there he really impressed me. I just basically told him how to hold the club and how to stand and he just took to it so easily. Was hitting some 7 iron shots 60-70 yards and connecting almost 90% of the time.

Looks like he could have some real natural talent

That's a heckuva swing!

Good for you, for getting him out there!

That's awesome, I have a 4 year old she is almost able to swing the club. She putts around with me a lot. Can't wait to get her out there on the range. Good on you for taking your nephew out there and having some fun.

That-a-boy!!!

Nice! If I might offer a suggestion, maybe shop around for an inexpensive "kid's" club and give it to him as a present. Make sure to tell him it's "his" club, and he doesn't have to borrow yours any more! That will fire him up, and it will be much easier for him to swing. And maybe look for an inexpensive putter. Take him to the putting green with you. You can play for an ice cream cone or something. That will fire him up, too!

Including a basket of fries at the clubhouse grille after each session is a good idea, too.
