Another vote for just having fun. I take my 3 year old girl with me when we go now. She might swing the club 5 times the entire round. She mostly plays in the sand, building sand castles that I must rake down after every hole...haha. But if you ask her right now what she thinks about golf, she will enthusiastically tell you " I LOVE golf!"  She will even ask to go to the golf course and comes out and swings her clubs in the garage when Jacob and I are doing our super speed protocols. I also try to leave it on the tv in the background while we are playing with her doll house too...lol. She even knows some of the tour players names now. I think if you try to get too technical with them, it may push them away. I know my little girl will get frustrated if you start trying to show her grip and feet placement and she will walk away. So I just let her do whatever she wants to when she has the club in her hands.  It is amazing how much they pick up just watching you swing.

Ooh! I just figured out how to highlight a section of text! How cool!

I think this is a great point. The gift of human mimicry is real, and is certainly strong in the young. Just letting them observe will do a lot. It's when they come and ask for assistance that you know it's time to step in.

Started taking my now 4 1/2 year old with me to the range when he was 3 and then course a few times last year. I agree with what everyone else said, keep it fun. He loves mini golf and there’s a course at most ranges by us so while sometimes I’m aching to go work on my irons, I accept that I’m going to get some putting practice first as well.

Driver: Callaway Mavrik 10*

Wood: Callaway Epic Flash 17* 

Hybrid: Callaway Mavrik 20*

Irons: Callaway Rogue X 5i-GW

Wedges: Vokey SM8 54*S and 58*K

Putter: Ping Prime Tyne 4

Getting back out with my 5yr old this weekend and cant wait. Putter shipping for him first (needs a new one) then range.

He asked this morning if i can take him out on the course. He wants me to play the hole fully and he'll chip and putt.

Told him he's got 20 years to get me the claret jug or a green jacket :-P

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
