A friend of mine texted me the other day. He’d taken his five-year-old son to the driving range for the first time—pictures on Facebook, proud as punch. Then came the question: what do I do next? Lessons? Coaching? And it really got me thinking about the children we introduce to golf in schools, the parents who regularly ask for advice, and our own 14-plus years working in this space. Because maybe—just maybe—the best way to start a child in golf isn’t lessons/coaching, but more play, more discovery, and more time together. That’s what today’s episode is about.
