re: Getting my son into golf. Any tips?

After some lessons get him signed up for a US Kids tourney. Set modest goals. My sons goal in his forst tourney was to avoid having to pick up, which is a 10 on a hole. He made a couple 9's but that was a successful round that made him want to come back.

Get started early. They have age groups for 6 and under. By the time they are 10 or 11, they are all pretty good so hacking around out there may be harder on the kid.
