I have been playing a lot of golf with my younger brother this summer. Did you know that at age 5-7, golf is not about getting a perfect swing? It is actually public health in disguise!
BODY: Balance, coordination, hand-eye skills, and many steps of walking and movement
BRAIN: Learning to wait, take turns, manage big feelings, follow directions
HEART: Confidence in accomplishing challenges, outdoor time away from screens
Golf is a safe sport. There is no contact with others. But it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any hustle! There is no standing around in golf, as it’s important to think of what’s next. It is fun and a great game! Finally, with the summer sun and heat, everyone is protected with shade from the trees, umbrellas and minifans, sunscreen, and water breaks! I hope every child will have the opportunity to experience the sport of golf!
