About Golf Training

Popey asked:


Hi i was wondering what the age limits to enter a disc golf tournament as a junior would be. I really need to know because i need to start training for the state championship and the courses i should practice depends on what category I’m entering. Please help soon the tournaments is coming up in one week.

I want to start my three old son playing golf (Tiger Woods started at three!) I have heard it is better for your strong arm to be facing in the direction of the ball trajectory. The challenge is as you get older your less coordinated in this “backwards” orientation.

My son appears to be left handed but has not yet learned all of his coordination skills. Would it be better to train him to shoot like a right handed player or a left handed player? He may get more power shooting as a righty but will he be challenged with accuracy when he matures? Or will he already find it much too difficult in coordination to even start shooting righty?

I shoot right handed as a righty and it would be nice in the future if we could share clubs when he is much older. But ultimately since the game is hard enough on its own, I would like to give him any advantage possible.
I would not start my son unless I thought he was socially ready. Being in Chicago he will actually be closer to 3-1/2 before I took him anywhere. But he is very socially responsible for perhaps the driving range. He speaks very well and full sentences and can comprehend well beyond his years.

This certainly won’t be anything I force on him. But at this point he is very excited and is always out in the lawn when I practice my chipping around the house and tries to hit the ball. I just wanted to get him some real clubs he can handle and see what happens.

Thanks for the great suggestion so far. Keep bringing them on!

I bought the Rick Smith “training glove” that a metal pad on the outside supporting a “solid wrist” idea. The commercial says you
can play with it. Right or wrong?

I recently recieved a set of some “essential” golfing accessories. Included in the set was a golf club weight that you slide down the shaft of the club and it rests on the club head. It adds quite a bit of weight to the club. It is about 2″ - 3″ in diamiter. Can someone tell me more about this, and what the benifits of it are? Thanks!
