There are golf experiences waiting for your kids. Consider enrolling them in a local camp devoted to teaching the age-old sport.
Golf camps are a great way to get your children outdoors for the summer.
Most of these camps are offered at local public and private courses.
Your child will enjoy a summer of challenging play in the beautiful
outdoors.
We often think of golfing as a purely adult game. Getting out on the
course is means connecting with coworkers or friends over a couple of
beers. You may not play well梥hanking the ball here or there梑ut you
have a good time. Working on your putt or fixing your swing is only an
occasional priority.
Yet, if you would have had the chance to go to a golf camp, maybe your
experience would have been different. If you could have played from an
early age, you handicap would reflect your level of skill. You wouldn抰
have to dig out of the rough or miss puts, but coast through most
courses in under par style.
It may be too late for you to attend a summer camp devoted to learning
golfing techniques, but it isn抰 too late for your children. They can
still change and mold their swing, grow comfortable with the putter and
find their way around the green. Through camp teaching skill and love of
the game, your child can become the player you always wanted to be.
More importantly, perhaps, you child will also learn those unspoken
skills of the game. We all know that golfing teaches patience,
confidence, leadership and communication skills. Not to mention creating
a love of enjoying the outdoors and physical exercise. The game has
much to offer your child.
Finding a camp that teaches these skills usually means looking to your
nearest public course or private club. In fact, if you have a regular
course where you and your buddies often play, you may have already seen
the signs advertising a golf camp. If you are a member of the local
country club, talk to the club pro and find out if there are any camps
going on at the club. They may also have information regarding other
camps in the community.
These camps will usually run in sessions of one, two or sometimes three
weeks in length. Some camps may be shorter or longer depending on your
child抯 already existing skills. Age can play a factor in the length of
camp you can enroll them in. Again, check with a club pro or the local
parks and recreation department to find out what may be available for
your child.
Enrolling your child in a golf camp can foster a better understanding of
the game. They can gain important skills early on that will help them
in their play as adults. Beyond the games, you will find that golfing
teaches them important life skills as well.
