I played a few more holes with my 9-year-old last night, along with my 15-year-old hot-shot. The younger just got his membership, so I'm trying to get him out for a few holes here and there, just to get him into the swing of things, so to speak.
Well, the wee man is starting to enjoy it. He has a nice little ultra-simple swing. I just need to make sure he is aiming it in the right direction, but everything else is his. He only hits it about 75-100 yards with his best hit.
We played our 14th yesterday, a straight-away 350-yard par 4. He managed to string 4 good shots together with the last one running up onto the green about 10 feet from the hole. We joked about the pressure of him trying to hole it but he DID!! A five! We celebrated, with high fives and whoops and he rather enjoyed that. And my older boy and I just kind of looked at eachother in a WTF moment. It was SO cool.
I know guys that get so paralyzed by their swing thoughts (including me sometimes). Just hit it!!
