One bright spot in the game of golf in the U.S. – and other countries as well – is the highly anticipated increase in the number of juniors taking up the game. But what teaching methods? What are the risks? Is your child a future champion?
Two paths for junior golfer are developing in the U.S. and elsewhere. One is focused on developing future professional tour stars. The other is for kids that will benefit from the skills and life lessons (including some competition) that golf teaches – not to mention the health of being outdoors and physically active.
Read about the "joy of victory" for Angelina Tolentino, a 9-year old girl who is among the top golfers in the world. And then read about the "joy of fun" -- another way to introduce golf to juniors. What path is the right one? Views vary and choices can be difficult.
Among the top junior golf instructors I interviewed, Michelle Holmes, the Director of Instruction of the Michelle Holmes School of Golf offered her unique approach to junior golf. Michelle explained:
