What is the youngest age recommended to start playing golf?

Answer 1

Ipersonally think that the earlier you can get children started is better. I'm 15 and i started when I was 12. I wish i started earlier because i would be so much better now if I had.

I'd recommend getting them started at about maybe 10 years of age because they are old enough to get the concept and it still give them enough time to learn how to swing properly if they want to go pro with it.

Answer 2

You would have to check with the course you want to play, rules do vary.

Some courses allow pairs and foursomes at age 16, but for legal reasons many require that an adult accompany those under 18. Some clubs have special junior memberships beginning at age 9 or 10, with various restrictions and limitations on play.

Answer 3

I dont know that there is an exact age and every person is different. In my opinion though, the younger the better. Starting at a younger age allows them more time to develop hand-eye coordination, dexterity and the skill required to be competitive as they grow older.

I also believe that Golf teaches you a lot about life. The game of golf is more than just hitting a small round object from 'Point A' to 'Point B'. It teaches us about honor, integrity, sportsmanship, discipline and focus. These are all traits that can be used in other aspects of life. Learning these traits at a young age could help a child to become a successful, well-balanced adult.

Answer 4

basically as soon as you have learned to walk and run

Answer 5

You can be any age at which you can use a standard club. Golfers have started as early as age 6. (Toy clubs and players under 9 or 10 are not allowed on many courses.)

Answer 6

On some courses there is, but then again on most there isn't. Some have an age limit of 18, but you'd be best ringing ahead to find out the rules of that particular club as it varies.
