Have any of you guys ever taught your child to play golf?
I've been taking my 7 y/o daughter to the local course where we hit some balls on the driving range and mess around on the putting green. I bought her a driver, a 7 iron and a putter. She seems to be enjoying it so far. I've shown her a basic grip and how to set her feet but other than that I'm trying to just let her hit and have fun.
I'm not sure what to do from here. Since I'm really not much of a golfer myself I don't really have any business being a teacher. But on the other hand I'm not sure I need to be. Right now I get a bucket of balls and we take turns hitting for a few minutes at a time, then we go putt for a while and then we go out to lunch. A good time is had by all.
Anyone have any experience with this? Right now I'm thinking we'll just keep doing what we're doing but I wonder if I could add some real instruction without her noticing. I don't want to turn it into a chore.
