So your kid is finally at that age. No not the age where they take their first steps. I mean your kid is ready to take their first golf swing. Of course your first reaction would be to get an old set of golf clubs you have lying around and cut them down to size. There are so many things wrong with doing that I don’t even know where to start. Establishing a proper swing is very important no matter what age you are. If the child has problems swinging the club because it is too heavy or too long or they can’t fit their hands properly around the golf grip, your child will lose interest or even worse, your child will hurt themselves.

First things first, if you cut a few inches off an adult club, you will be getting rid of the clubs flex. Can you imagine a child swinging an extremely stiff golf club? They would not be able to lift the golf ball off the swing. make sure the club can bend. Now I know golf sets are expensive and you most of us can’t afford to buy our kids a new set every summer. I seriously recommend buying amateur junior sets for your kids. They make them for juniors and they really are not that expensive. You can find sets for under 100$ now. Kids grow fast so the club length can be a little longer than necessary but, I don’t recommend going more than an inch longer. It will alter their swing. The length of the golf shaft is the most important part of choosing the right junior club.

Much debate has occurred about kids and strength training. There’s been concern about growth plate damage. There’s been discussion of whether it increases their likelihood of future success or simply places them at increased stress both physically and mentally. Here’s a few notes on the correct way to have a junior golfer build a strong, healthy body.
First there are definite differences between adolescent boys and adolescent girls with respect to strength and strength production. In boys, absolute muscular strength (the greatest amount of force an individual can produce) grows consistently between the ages of 7 – 19. In girls, strength gains are incurred on a consistent level until about the age of 15, when a period of stagnation occurs and strength gains plateau, and in fact begins to fall. By the end of the pubescent ages, boys are roughly 50% stronger than girls.

As your child begin a golf training program make sure proper instruction on exercise form is given. Adults can provide instruction and supervision to enforce safety and good technique. You can also consider hiring a trained professional to demonstrate proper form and safety measures. Most gyms have a junior program where they offer proper lifting techniques and protocols.
