A surge in young golfers is turning the sport into a family affair. Youth programs abound, but cost, access and the complexity of buying the right equipment are still barriers for many families. Here’s where to start.
US Kids
This company specializes in ultralight clubs for young people. It was founded on the premise that many of them drop out of golf because they’re using equipment that’s too heavy and cumbersome, creating bad habits. Use its website’s virtual fitting center to enter your kids’ height, hand dominance and player profile—as young as infancy, for “baby’s first clubs”—to determine their ideal gear. Some options have molded grips to help with hand positioning; all are light enough to help small bodies find their natural tempo.
