Well I currenlty am mentoring an 11 year old child, and while helping him with his homework we got onto the subject of golf. I am actually really great friends with his mom, so I took him out to the range with my old clubs. they aren't the right size but he was able to hit some pretty good shots with them. even pitched in a couple at the practice green ( you should have seen his eyes light up). Now since introuducing him to the game, he wants to take it to the course. But I tell him that he needs to get a little better in every aspect of the game before we can actually play on the course. When is the right time to introduce him to the course? I know for me if i'm lagging behind someone that can only hit the ball 50 yards it frustrates me and I would hate to do that to anyone else. Any suggestions?
