The idea that everyone has the potential to have a great game and a beautiful swing is a fundamental one of KG1. Even though it can take a lot of effort, it is definitely possible.
Golf is not simple, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. It is a lifelong practice that constantly challenges even the best of professional players. The rich complexity of the game is actually part of its unique appeal. Think of golf like chess or slow-roasting cuisine, not checkers or fast food. Golf takes time to master, and it should be enjoyably challenging as you learn all aspects of the game. It is never too late to learn to play golf or improve on areas of weakness in your skill set and game.

WHY POSITIVE IS POWER
A positive approach gets the most from youth and high school athletes, which is what coaches, parents and the athletes themselves want. Staying positive also helps youth get the most out of sports.
Encouraging athletes with positive reinforcement helps them hear and heed the necessary corrections. With that winning combination of truthful, specific praise and constructive criticism, athletic performance improves and so do the chances that kids stick with sports longer and learn all the valuable life lessons inherently available through organized competition.
