Equipment is, a problem in the schools but teachers should, realize that a lot of elaborate equipment is not"': necesar .tb introduce so meo e tot � a � he $ me', of golf. Oneclub' and some plastic practice balls will ideal dealfo for getting anyone started.' Once a, youngster has beets introduced to the game "via parents, friends,,school', television, or whatever, he now needs a place to play. This one factor is probably the major ,' stumbling block, in junior development. Most: private and semi -private clubs have 'severe -restrictions on junior players and Somledo not r permit juniors on the course at all How they, , expect to have any future members, Itllinever ; know. Other clubs won't permit juniors -except early weekday Mornings or on weekend evenings, but at least that is a start, When , asked about the restrictions it's mainly,tili'e to members complaining about slow . play,; noise, and misbehavior by juniors on the - course. These are all problems that can be overcome if we adult players take .the time to - teach the proper procedures and set, -an example. Children are great mimics and they'. learn by observation. They will just as'readilt .mimic our bad habits as our good ones. Our juniors have no hard and fast restrictions on play as we prefer to let them play when they are out here as long at -the course is net too busy and they let faster golfers play through. The more juniors play. the better they become and theless of a problem they are on the course. At the courses where juniors must bell handicaps or less to play I wonder flow the kid got to be. an 11 in the first place. Our boys and girls have developed skills that many ofwe adults are envious of. Clinics, group lessons. and special junior events, both • competitive and non-competitide, are ideal ways to keep youngsters interested in -golf. Special three hole contests, putting, chip- ping, and long drive competitions. allow kids d ''mlat e`v`ents are re'a for introducing t s, o u ifhrent formof;play an uhe l s o play with.

Whether juniors continue to compete against themselves exclusively!, or decide to enter tournaments with other juniors competition can be a great .boost t`or them. Golf is unforgiving and you soon learn that you can „only blame yourself for bad shots made.
