Take him on the course. If he's slowing things down have him pick up. Have him hit from where your drive stops. Have him squeeze in a few extra shots when there's time. Get him on the course however you can. It doesn't mean he has to play all of every hole, or even play on every hole.

We starting taking my daughter when she was ten in the Fall when the course was not busy. She really never finished a full round until the end of the next summer when she was 11. Even last year at 12 she often didn't finish rounds, but rather worked to learn the game at our home course. She did play in a number of 9 and 18 hole tournaments, both full size and par three.

Get him out there, you won't regret it, and you'll be amazed how fast the young can learn. They produce myelin at a furious pace. Maybe get him a lesson or two if possible to start him with a good grip and set up.

Getting my daughter interested is the best thing I have ever done. That an producing her, but that wasn't all me.
