It is supposed to be FUN?

We have played with two young golfers, each about ten, and their grandfathers, matched up on executive courses. One was taught the rules and was polite, shook hands, was quiet, always had his club drawn and ready to hit, stood off the tee when others were hitting, watched where his ball went and was a complete and utter joy to play with.

The other was the complete opposite. I really like kids and it doesn't take long to tell them exactly what to do on the course. Golf is not a right, it is a privilege.
