[Reprinted] How old is it best to ask children to learn golf?

Q: When is the best age for children to learn golf? A: Woods and Wei Shengmei are typical examples of early learning and early success. Tiger Woods began to touch clubs at the age of eight and played golf on TV at the age of three. Yani once began to learn golf at the age of five. Both of them are absolutely talented people, but not everyone can do it. In fact, most top professional players in the world now spend much more time learning the ball than this evening, such as 12-year-old Sorenstein and 10-year-old Nick Fodor. However, at present, most professional players in China start to learn from the age of 18. What I want to say here is that the ultimate success does not depend on the starting age, but on talent and acquired. The only certainty is that as long as your child is interested in golf, wants to play ball and wants to get in touch with the sport, you can let him try it. The following is from the blog: What I want to say here is that the ultimate success does not depend on the age of starting, but on talent and hard work the day after tomorrow. But now that everyone's economic conditions are good, it is entirely possible to start earlier. Personally, considering children's understanding ability and physical condition, 5 years old should be the minimum age to start learning the ball. If it was earlier, it would be easy to get twice the result with half the effort. In fact, 10 to 12 years old is ideal. However, the national condition in China is that children after 10 begin to learn worse, and often face the early junior high school. So on the whole, it is an ideal time to start at any time between 5- 10 years old. /kloc-children under 0/2 should pay attention to some problems when learning the ball, mainly because they are growing up, not suitable for large-scale training and have poor understanding. To put it bluntly, it is meaningless to practice short strokes, especially for children under 8 years old. There is no point in overemphasizing the perfection of the swing. It is good to swing correctly, and it is mainly based on the cultivation of short strokes. Pushing and cutting are skills that children benefit from all their lives. On the contrary, swings are constantly changing from childhood to Congress (Woods was still adjusting his movements in 2004), so it is difficult to fix children's swings early, so it is not too late to adjust his movements when the children are older. Besides, I want to play on the swing. Children themselves must have a deep understanding of the principle of swing, and it will be much easier when they grow up. At that time, children can understand the coach's tips more deeply, and then adjust their movements with half the effort. According to foreign research, children under the age of 8 have very limited benefits in the usual action essentials teaching, and children often don't understand what the coach is saying, but just imitate it blindly; However, in the process of playing technical games such as golf, putter and putter, the income is very high. Children aged 9- 12 will benefit a lot from the usual action essentials teaching, and the benefits will be significantly improved in the next game. /kloc-there should be no big difference between the training of children after 0/2 years old and that of adults. Of course, this is just a general statement. Because children are very different, parents should make their children's training plans according to their characteristics, including physical development, understanding ability and interests. Any child over the age of 12 can reach the general professional level in China in three years as long as he is well-taught, well-trained, interested and hardworking. That is, a single handicap. Zhang Na is the most typical example. At the age of 65,438+08, he began to learn the ball from scratch and won the amateur championship one year later, winning more than ten national amateur championships. I changed my job three years later and won the women's Asian Tour five years later (last year). Now he is attacking the Japan Tour and LPGA. Of course, with the domestic environment and coaching level, it seems impossible for his children to reach the world professional level. It is recognized at present. Different children need different ways of guidance. If the child is eleven or twelve years old, more systematic guidance is more appropriate. But if you are only five or six years old, the coach still suggests cultivating interest. You can practice more short shots properly, instill some ceremonial things on the court, and slowly cultivate a temperament. If we can find several children to study together and let them practice golf in a relaxed and harmonious environment, we can not only cultivate friendship, but also create fun and stimulate their motivation to learn golf. For young children, the method should not be too monotonous, and it is more important to let them like this sport at this stage. When the child is older, it will gradually shift to the technical level.
