Get Your Junior In The Game
by Eddie Hall, Equipment Writer
We all love the game of golf and appreciate the many benefits it offers. We also understand that for the game to grow, new golfers need to enter the game. The group that represents the largest possible number of new golfers is juniors. They are the future of the game! There are several excellent reasons why youth should play golf. Juniors learn etiquette, how to handle success and failure, and develop lifelong friendships; plus, it is great exercise. When junior golfers start playing the game, they are not unlike any other new golfer. They need to have fun and experience some level of success to continue playing the game. A large factor in their success is the equipment they use.
When young golfers first try golf, they need good clubs to swing. Their parents’ hand-me-down clubs are usually too long, and the shafts are too stiff for them to swing. Often, clubs are cut down for the young golfer. Although the clubs may now be a usable length, the junior will still have trouble swinging them because, unfortunately, the shafts are even stiffer now. We know that if young golfers don’ t have the correct clubs that give them a better chance to succeed, they are more likely to give up on the game. There are many reasonably priced club options on the market today that can enable young golfers to have fun and learn to enjoy the game of golf.
U. S. Kids Golf is the leader in youth golf equipment and is committed to providing clubs that fit all age groups. When young players use clubs that fit them properly, they quickly develop golf swings that will last a lifetime. The correct club length and weight are essential for establishing solid fundamentals, which is why players are fitted into U. S. Kids Golf clubs based on height, not age.
U. S. Kids Golf offers five lines of golf clubs designed to provide options for every skill level: Baby’ s First Club( 18-inch putter), Yard Club, Ultralight 7, Tour Series 5, and the new epTour. The Yard Club is a super-lightweight club designed to give young beginners a good start when first learning the game. It features an oversized head that provides more hitting area, helping to get the ball in the air. It also includes a training grip to teach proper hand position. It’ s designed for beginner youth players who want a reliable training club to start with.
