Hello from JRGOLFDAD

Hello Junior Golf Talk! Quick intro...My name is Jason and my son, Jace currently plays in the NTPGA team tournaments. We both picked up golf clubs about a year ago as something fun to do. He excelled, I didn't!

Jace is 6 years old (almost 7) and he has played in the USGLL league, played several tournaments in the US Kids Summer Tour and is now playing with the NTPGA. I have to admit, we are having a blast! Our practice course is Frisco Lakes by the Del Webb community in Frisco, Texas. Jace does his lessons/clinics at Ridgeview Ranch in Plano. He is coached by Bryan Ham with Bruce Sims Golf School. Their program is phenomenal and I recommend them to anyone that asks (or will listen).

I look forward to meeting more parents of golf kids on the boards and hopefully in person.

See you on the golf course!

great idea on the message boards. My family also in the Junior Golf arena, recently launched a new organization called College Golf Camps of America....www.collegegolfcamps.com.....essentially, we are a platform for the best college golf camps in America, but will also operate a junior golf intensity aimed at helping the junior golfer achieve the goals of playing collegiate golf. Funny enough....our first event with be in Dallas, Texas...thanks again for the message boards!!

Hi guys,

I see lots of views on the threads but no back-and-forth chat yet.  This forum is providing a needed service, there is not much online for parents of young golfers.  A lot more info once they hit 9 yrs old, but still no forums.

My son is 4, we just dabble but will start playing US Kids once he hits 5 in November.

My struggle is some courses around us don't allow kids under 8yrs old on the course.

Hi Fletch,

You are 100% right, there is not much back and forth on this forum like I had hoped. I have quite a bit more traffic and relevant content on the Google Plus Page at plus.google.com/u/0/b/114061715846676892204/+Shopjuniorgolf/posts.  You can also view the Junior Golf Talk Community.  There is good engagement on both of those sites.

I wish this would take off a bit more...completely agree, not enough info online for us parents of junior golfers!

Good luck!!!
