Golf tip with Brad Redding

A good way to introduce your child to lessons is to have them tag along when you take a lesson.

I have many parents who will do this, and the last 15 minutes of the lesson is when I will work with their child.

If the child sees you being instructed by a professional, they will feel more comfortable working with a professional. After your child has done this several times and continues to show interest, it would be appropriate to take them to group clinics or summer camps. Learning with children of a similar age will make the experience more fun and inject a small amount of competition as well.
