I played this afternoon and got paired for the first nine with a father and son. The son was 8 and it was his first time to play from the "real" teebox. His Dad said that he had only been allowed to drop the ball at 150 and play in until today. This was his first time.

The kid was really good! He played off the forward tees and was hitting the driver around 170-180 with nice trajectory. He also hit his irons solid and bogied the starting par 4 and par 3 before getting a double on the par 5, then parred the short par 4 and par 3. I stopped keeping track after that but I am pretty sure he didn't have anything over bogie the rest of the nine.

His Dad had done a good job teaching him the etiquette of the game and I think the kid is going to be good if he keeps at it. He knew when it was his turn and was ready, he knew when to be quiet, and he removed his hat and shook hands on the 9th green. I complimented him and his Dad before we parted company.
