Parents let kids have fun at golf
The results of yesterday's ' August 25
junior golf tournament will be published
next week. However, while on the subject of
junior golf, there are a feW things worth
mentioning: Many parents are concerned
about how to get their youngsters off on the
right foot, golf wise. Some parents are
golfers themselves and hope their children
will. enjoy the game too. Other parents are
not golfers but recognize the merits of the
•game and encourage their offspring to take
up golf for various reasons.
After watching youngsters. and their
parents and doing some research, certain
riieces of advice stand out. Let your kids
have fun at golf. Golf is a game. -This fact is
oftea forgotten in the pursuit of excellence.
An eight or eleven -year-old has a long time
ON THE GREENS

ahead of him before he's going to be cashing
any pro golfer's,cheques. Don't sour him by
making the game too serious or too much
like work. •
Don't make negative remarks about your
child's game or put too much emphasis on
the score. Youngsters (and even adults)
who are just taking up the game, shouldn't
keep score at all. Perhaps count putts only
and just concentrate on making a good Shot.
Don't exceed your child's attention span
whether it be during play, practise or in-
struction. When a chit() is bored or fidgety,
the fun and the absorption of knowledge are
,lost. Let them play only a few holes if they
want and limit lessons and practise sessions
to 15 minutes, creating new games to keep it
interesting.
Book lessons with a pro rather than
teaching him yourself but book lessons
after the child has sho some personal in -
