Is there a kid in your life that wants to pick up the game but you aren’t sure where to start? Here at Golfweek, we’ve gathered everything you need to get your little one off on the right foot.

First, remember these tips when taking your newest playing partner out on the course or practice range for the first time:

Baby steps. There’s no need to rush onto the course. Take time to develop fundamentals and good practice habits.
Relax. Chances are you’re not sparking the career of the next Nelly Korda or Tiger Woods. There’s no need to put all that pressure on your kiddo.
Pick a pro. Have your child pick a couple of players to watch and follow. Bonus points if you can go see them in person!
Have fun! That’s what golf is all about, right? Fun and enjoyment should come before anything else for all golfers, but especially for juniors.
