How old do kids need to be to play golf?

Children are never too young to learn the game of golf. In fact, the younger the better. The movies of Tiger Woods as a toddler hitting golf balls are enough to inspire any parent to put a club in their child’s hand. If a child starts playing golf at a young age, chances are he or she won’t develop as many bad swing and etiquette habits as those who take up the game later in life.

In addition to Woods, some of the game’s greatest players, such as Arnold Palmer and Bobby Jones, started off by playing golf with their fathers. There’s no guarantee your child will grow up to be another Tiger, but golf is certainly a game for a lifetime. Plus, there are not many other sporting activities where parents and children can spend so much quality time together in an outdoor setting.
