In an effort to help nudge my 7 and 9 yr old daughters towards being a little less 'girlie', I asked them if they were ready to start going to the range with me, and learning how to golf.
I've asked them before, but don't want to force them.
They finally said 'yes' today.
I took them to Golfsmith and told them they could choose something to buy:
My 9 yr old chose her first real putter.
My 7 year old wanted a 12 pack of colored (pink, satin and purple) golf balls, a pink golf glove, and a pink/purple ball marker/divot replacer.
I wasn't thrilled with the 7 year old's selection, but after my 9 yr old chose a $110 putter, I was really relieved that my 7 yr old chose knick knacks.
I also gave my older daughter her first putting lesson. Kept it short so she won't get bored. Just taught her to practice by pushing (no backswing) the ball into the hole from 3 and 6 feet out.
