Having a pro cert the kids is not a big deal, would never take one of our grand children on a course if they didn't know the rules. Our grand daughter has been playing since 7years old. The last six rounds she played was with a pro, she enjoyed playing with him as a partner and the helpful tips he gave her, as most young children their bad habits are few and drives are at 100yds or better, there was only one bad encounter, when they paired with two older gentlemen who were both angry she was playing she told them she would play from their tees and pick up if she slowed them down..by fourth hole she had kept up with their drives sometimes surpassing them. asked at the fifth if they would like to play for a quarter a hole, they turned her down, but never had a bad thing to say about her age or gender after that
