At the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Course, we are committed to growing the game.
What does that mean? It means we value the importance of introducing golf to as many children as possible, and increasing the opportunities available to all kids, no matter their ability.
The game of golf is a lifelong game that can be enjoyed by all ages, and that is one of the main reasons we love teaching the game to young people. When kids get introduced to golf, they learn to appreciate the outdoors. They also learn sportsmanship, integrity and respect for the golf course.
The best way to introduce your child to the game of golf is to bring them to the golf course and let them experience holding a club and making a swing. Too often we want to show kids how to swing when we should just let them experience the fun of hitting a ball.
If you are a golfer yourself, taking your child onto the course with you is a great way to start teaching them etiquette of the game. You can show them how to rake a bunker, or how to fix a ball mark on the green. Whatever you do, make sure that fun is the key aspect of your time together.
