Watching a child golfer, especially your child golfer, is wonderful … and I mean full of wonder. This is true of most young athletes, I’m sure, as parents revel in their child’s talent. I think golf is extra special in this way just because of how hard it is to play well.

Pace of play is Continue reading
If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry! I’m gonna’ lay down on the Daddy Caddy therapist’s couch for a minute. Continue reading
We found shopping for golf clubs to be quite confusing at times. There is so much “information” out there but what felt like no answers. Some folks would be emphatic that using cut down clubs is a bad answer. Others would say to use as long a club as possible. We heard Continue reading
