Played 9 holes with my son today on a par 3 course, we had an absolute blast. He found more balls than he lost, which of course was the best part of the day for him.
The bulk of his lessons have mostly focused on the short game, so driver and longer iron shots are things he still has some problems with. He tends to way overswing and stand up on his downswing, leading to toe shots and slices. I really haven't done much along the lines of coaching, because I'm pretty bad too and I don't want him to lose the whole "having fun outside with dad" aspect of playing either. Just trying to figure out how I can gently explain to him what he's doing and how to work on it so he hits better shots and hopefully gets more enjoyment out of the game as a result.
