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: What Is in a Golf Bag?

A golf bag carries everything you need to play 18 holes — up to 14 clubs, balls, tees, gloves, rain gear, snacks, and more. Knowing what each item is for and how to organise your bag efficiently makes you a better-prepared and more confident golfer before you even hit the first shot.

What You Will Find in a Complete Golf Bag

  1. Driver (1 Wood) — The longest club in the bag, used for tee shots on par-4 and par-5 holes. Designed for maximum distance. The large club head makes it forgiving of off-centre hits.
  2. Fairway Woods (3 Wood, 5 Wood) — Used for long shots from the fairway or for tee shots when accuracy matters more than maximum distance.
  3. Hybrid Clubs — A cross between a wood and an iron — easier to hit than long irons, especially from rough or awkward lies. Many golfers carry 1 to 3 hybrids.
  4. Irons (4 through 9) — Numbered clubs with angled faces. Lower numbers hit the ball farther; higher numbers hit shorter but more accurately. The 9-iron is a very common approach shot club.
  5. Wedges — Short irons with high loft angles for shots near the green. A pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge cover distances from 30 to 130 yards.
  6. Putter — Used only on the green to roll the ball into the hole. Putting accounts for roughly 40% of all shots in a round — the most important club in the bag.

Other Essential Bag Contents

  • Golf balls: Carry at least 6. Losing balls in water or rough is very common, especially for beginners.
  • Tees: Small wooden or plastic pegs that elevate the ball for tee shots. Carry at least 10.
  • Glove: A leather glove worn on the lead hand (left hand for right-handed golfers) for better grip and to prevent blisters.
  • Divot tool: A small fork-shaped tool for repairing the dent your ball makes when it lands on the green.
  • Ball markers: Small coins or discs used to mark your ball's position on the green so other players can putt without your ball in the way.

Practice Tips

  • Organise your bag with the longest clubs (driver, woods) in the back slots and the shortest (wedges, putter) in the front slots — this makes selection fast and easy.
  • After every round, check your bag for missing clubs, empty ball pockets, and worn grips that need replacing.
  • Keep a small snack and a water bottle in your bag — staying hydrated and energised over 18 holes significantly affects your score and enjoyment.

Did You Know?

Golf rules allow a maximum of 14 clubs in your bag during a round of golf. Carrying more than 14 results in a 2-stroke penalty per hole where the violation occurs. Professional golfers choose their exact 14-club selection very carefully based on the specific course they are playing!
