All the kids should undergo training from a PGA professional in order to meet levels of competency and understand the rules and most importantly comply with the etiquette of this wonderful game of golf.

Keep in mind to never push your young golfer, and if he or she is not ready to get in the competition...you must respect his or her decision by being supportive and encouraging.

It must be your child's decision, not influenced by you, to get in junior golf tournaments.

The preparation process may take some time but if you see a real talent in your junior golfer, you may start slowly by encouraging him or her to participate in small local events.

Then, if he or she likes the competition environment and wants to take the game to the next level, you may register him or her in some local tournaments.
