About This Book

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This book is a direct, secular instructional guide to a sport. It contains no sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a 6 to 9-year-old who has expressed a new interest in golf, perhaps after seeing it on TV or watching a family member play. This child may be less inclined toward fast-paced team sports and more interested in individual challenges that require focus and patience. It's perfect for a methodical learner who enjoys understanding rules and mastering a physical skill.
Parent Prep
No preparation is necessary. The book can be read cold and explains all concepts clearly. A parent might enhance the experience by looking up a local driving range, putt-putt course, or a kid-friendly golf lesson program to make the learning tangible after reading the book. A parent has heard their child say, "What is golf?" or "I want to try golf!" after a recent exposure to the sport. Another trigger could be a parent looking for a new, calm outdoor activity to share with their child, moving beyond the playground to something more structured but still fun.
