Golf is the game of a lifetime. Every hole on the course, like every day in life, is a new opportunity to experience joy. There are challenges and rewards. There’s hard work, but there’s also luck. There’s friendship and solidarity. There’s solitude and self-reflection. You never “arrive” at golf, it’s an endless journey. And getting your child on this journey is one of the best things you can do for them. Here’s why.

It’s fun
Golf offers a variety of situations and experiences that keep kids engaged and having fun.

It’s safe
Golf courses are safe environments where your child can be free to play, have fun and grow.

Getting outdoors
Children today are spending too much time indoors in front of screens. Golf is a great way to get them out into the fresh air for hours at a time.

Getting physically active
Spending hours playing and moving is so important for the development of a child’s physical literacy. Junior golf programs are one of the best ways to get your child active.

Quality family time
Golf is one of the few sports that enable the entire family to be together and enjoy the same game for hours at a time.

Friendships
Children will learn how to acquaint themselves with others, and will have many opportunities to make new friends.

Respect for self and others
The tradition of etiquette in golf teaches children how behave and to treat others respectfully.

Broader worldview
Golf brings people from all walks of life together to share in their enjoyment of the game. This helps children to appreciate diversity.

Business skills
Golfers are faced with a variety of situations during a round that require problem solving skills and self-confidence to manage. These skills will be invaluable for business later in life.

Self improvement
Golf challenges players to assess themselves, accept critique and look for ways to improve. This teaches children self-reliance.

Whether it’s the immediate benefits like fun, outdoor exercise and family time, or long-term benefits like physical and mental development, golf has so much to offer your child. Give them the chance to experience it all.
