| I must say that age below 7 is too young to go to these classes. Get them interested and play at home is equally good because they cannot do full swing. Whether they are good or not will be after they do their full swing.
Just my opinion. | |

Just my opinion. This is what I think also! My two little one also said that they are very interested to go range with me. But knowing their characters, I felt that it's better to wait until they are at least 7 yr old n above then bring them along to test their real interest. | |

I am training their putting skills on the mat and sometimes go to the practice putting green for some mini game(challenge). They seems to enjoy and like the challenge very much. The best is keep their interests high and make it interesting. | |

| if you compare my analagy earlier on Kindergolf to other type of enrichment classes... i think you catch the drift. It is like saying going to KinderMuzik will turn them into musician. none of us will expect that.
but we still send kids to Kindermuzik because we want them to learn melody and rhythm thru playing and singing.
similarly, kinderGolf is there as a structured set up for kids to learn hand-eye coordination, some basic chipping and putting strokes, some level of competition between kids and simple golf rules (e.g. do not tee the ball after the tee markers).
if as parent I can spend 45 mins dedicated with my kids without distraction, i can save the money too... problem is... I can't! If you can.... then DIY also can!
I sent my daugther there without any false expectations or misconception. I will send my daughter for proper golf classes after 7 years old. But while she was there at KinderGolf, i can see clearly she enjoyed every session! | |

| I think the trial lesson will be good. From there, you can really see if your kids are interested and see if they are comfortable with the instructors. It's a good way to start.
When i was a kid... I played lego and barbie dolls and plaster clay ^^ Much fun. Then golf! hehe ^^ | |
