I’ve got an 11 year old who takes regular lessons, great golfer for his age, will almost certainly be better than me by 13 or 14, but my 4 year old is obsessed and begging to get lessons. I am not intending to push either of them into competitive golf; I am not a delusional dad lol. It feels kind of ridiculous to pay for a kid this young to be in lessons, but given that he’s the one asking for them, I’m at least considering it.

Golf coaches and pros of Reddit, is 4 just too young to start? He’s very attentive, and takes some amount of coaching from me and my son, but he wants an instructor like his big brother. I do not want to burden some poor person with an impossible task though.

I haven’t even tried to do anything with his grip or swing mechanics, and he can barely lift the club (side note: if anyone can recommend some light junior clubs, I’d love that)… I’m honestly shocked he finds the ball as well as he does.
