I'm wondering if it's possible to get the younger kids on the golf courses? If so what are the requirements? I read recently there was a youngster that was very young and had "special certification". If so what and how is this done, requirements,contacts,etc?. Of course it would be off season, executive,and odd hours to not disturb the more accomplished golfers..

Thanks for the help..Can you please define the term "team Professional" and what type of certification would be needed,and anyone you can recommend.. I looked throught the info at the golf the villages site and was unable to get a handle on anything regarding getting the age limit waived...

our grandaughter played at age 9 with us in TV... her drive is 100 yards or so. Execs are perfect for her. Starter asked how old she was then watched her drive the green. She plays 2-3 times a week at home at our club

Team Professional refers to the country club pro. They have them hit balls and determine if they are capable of playing.
