He's got a very natural ability to hit the ball and a desire to play. I'm trying to foster it. Does anyone have suggestions about jr. golf pros in the BR area?

just let him play....and have fun....send him to some junior clinics.....if he is still into the game, get him some lessons at a later point.

If you're a single digit handicapper, you're better off teaching him how to get around the course...playing out of trouble, getting up and down, and reading putts.

Let him do the junior clinics and tournaments this summer.

Once he gets into his teens and a more "adult" body/swing, you can get him some serious lessons.

If he likes it, and can hit the ball good get him lessons. 9 is not too young. I don't really have any specific recommendations in your area, but unlike some have said he's not too young.

Don't listen to most of these people 9 is not too young for lessons.

Too young to start worrying about perfecting the swing yes but not too young to get with a pro and drill fundamentals.

I wish I had taken lessons as a 9 year old! All my friends who played golf as a little kid have such a naturally easy looking swing
