Have nephew and he's a great kid (and now teen-ager). He's athletic (plays basketball) and loves sports. He's such a happy guy - he needs the misery of golf in his world (okay, just kidding about that).
I would like for him to take up the game. But how do I get that done? Obviously everyone will say "he needs to take lessons." Yes, he should and hopefully will. But before he signs up for that he needs to get the bug. He's never going to tell his mom "I want to take golf lessons" without being motivated because he likes the game.
So ... a trip to the range with his crazy uncle to hit some balls would help. But should he hit adult clubs? Kid clubs? What makes it fun for a kid just starting? Ideas? How do you get someone started?
