I think they key is to just let them have fun, even if their swing isnt mechanically perfect.
I see a lot of parents out on the course, who are, IMO, too hard on their kids. You know, they expect them to make these mechanically perfect swings and expect them to be all serious about it.
I say just let kids be kids and have fun. If they eventually want to work at getting as good as they can, by all means show them what they need to know, but I see too many parents out there trying to make the next Tiger Woods/Michelle Wie.
If the kids arent having fun, they likely arent going to stick with golf and if they arent having fun, whats the point?
