When children move into the competitive side of golf, it can be a make-or-break phase of their journey. That’s why it’s so important that parents remain supportive rather than critical. That’s how you keep your child on the developmental pathway, as golfers and as people.
When success in golf is dependent on the outcome, we risk losing focus of the process. We want junior golfers to be aware of the outcome, but not driven by it. If your child has played in a tournament, restrict your feedback to what they did well. Be their support. We as coaches will take care of process improvement.
These are the years where we help junior golfers understand their game and fine-tune their skills, keeping them focused on their process.
Golf helps your child develop physically and mentally. It’s safe, healthy and fun. Let them play.
