We all want our children to be successful and do great things in life, and where applicable, in sports. A 12-year old girl qualified for the CP Women’s open this week on the LPGA. She missed the cut, coming in second-to-last at 19-over par. I’m sure she had an amazing time and learned a ton from the pros, but could that be too much too soon? Michelle Wie had an incredible amateur career and very successful professional career so far, but never really met the impossible expectations set by her meteoric rise in the golf world as a teenager.
Should the professional tours set a minimum age limit to protect children from overexposure to the sport before they have a chance to really grow up, or should the onus be completely on the parents?
