About this golf moment

Golf is one of those sports that looks calm on the outside and is full of tiny battles on the inside. Every swing involves balance, grip, focus, and a little bit of patience, and kids who play even casually pick up all four.

This clip is part of Parikshet's golf journey. He is 11 and still learning, just like most kids who give the sport a try. What you see here is real practice, real mistakes, and real progress.

Why kids enjoy golf

  • It is one of the few sports where size and speed do not decide the winner
  • Every shot is a chance to start fresh, no matter what the last one looked like
  • It teaches patience without ever feeling like a lecture
  • The score is personal, so kids compete with themselves first

Tips for parents new to golf

Start with a small set of plastic or junior clubs in the back garden. A short, soft swing is more useful than a long one early on. And if your child loves it, a local driving range is usually cheaper and friendlier than people expect.

Golf Basics: Playing Like a Pro

Every professional golfer in the world — from Tiger Woods to Rory McIlroy — built their game on the same fundamental skills. The good news is that these fundamentals are learnable at any age, and starting young actually gives you a massive long-term advantage.

How to Play Golf Like a Pro

  1. Master the Grip — Hold the club with your fingers, not your palms. Grip pressure should feel like you are holding a tube of toothpaste without squeezing any out. Too tight kills speed; too loose loses control.
  2. Perfect Your Setup — Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, and weight balanced evenly on both feet. Tilt forward from your hips, not your waist, so your spine is straight.
  3. Use a Pre-Shot Routine — Every pro has a consistent routine before every shot: pick a target, visualise the shot, take one practice swing, step into position, and go. Consistency builds confidence.
  4. Swing on a Consistent Plane — Imagine your swing following a tilted hula hoop around your body. The club goes back and through on the same path every time.
  5. Follow Through Completely — Hold your finish position until the ball lands. A complete follow-through means you swung through the ball, not just at it.
  6. Course Management — Pros play to their strengths and avoid trouble. Lay up when the risk is too high. Get the ball in play rather than going for a miracle shot.

Key Golf Terms

  • Birdie: One shot under the par score for that hole — a very good result!
  • Par: The expected number of shots a skilled golfer takes to complete a hole.
  • Fairway: The short-grass area between the tee and the green where you want your ball to land.
  • Rough: The longer grass beside the fairway — harder to hit out of and best avoided.
  • Handicap: A number that represents your average score compared to par, used to make competition fair between players of different abilities.

Practice Tips

  • Practice your short game (putting and chipping within 50 yards) first — over 60% of all shots in golf happen within 50 yards of the hole.
  • Never practise a bad swing. If something feels wrong, stop, reset, and start the shot fresh.
  • Film your swing from two angles — face-on and behind — to see what your coach and professionals see.
