Now more and more parents encourage their toddlers to pick up a 9-iron and showed great joy in thrashing around the backyard chasing a little white ball. It seems to show the great enthusiasm on golfing. After all, have you ever looked at a young child bouncing a ball around the house and immediately said we should get him or her basketball lessons? Then, what are the differences? You should mind two reasons. The first and most obvious is that a parent looks at their offspring and envisions the next Tiger Woods. Please note the omission of the next Michelle Wie (more on her later). The kids are too young to have dreams at a tender age, so parents will dream for them. And what’s the harm in this? There is no harm, really. As long as parents accept that their children will grow with dreams of their own and those dreams might not necessarily mesh with those of mom and dad. These dreams, the child’s dreams, are the ones they should be encouraged to follow, not the dreams of the parents. The second reason is that a lot of parents are a bit skeptical of their ability to teach their kids how to golf. Sports like basketball, baseball and football are played by kids all over the country and parents see no harm in teaching a child how to shoot baskets or to throw a baseball or football. But there’s a stigma when it comes to golf that if you don’t teach someone the correct way from the start they’ll develop a number of unrecoverable bad habits. So parents who dream of their kids becoming the next links superstars but are too afraid their lessons will only teach them how to slice seek out a local PGA professional to do the dirty work. You can meet many parents who see that “special something” in their kids; a little glimpse that their child can become a great golfer. A PGA Tour player, in fact. These are the parents who come to me about getting their kids to tap into that potential. These are also the parents who need to realize that it’s going to be about 20 years before we find out if that potential is fulfilled. To second reason. . . “Tiger Woods” Bloom, Next generation bloom
