Children's Coach

Hi, am looking at starting my children on golf. They are 6 & 8 yeras old. Any good coach or school to start them or recommend them? thanks

I find it rather difficult to get coaches for Children. The attrition rate is pretty high from those academy that specialize in teaching children.

Kinder Golf / Tee One at Safra Changi Walk is quite good. Coach John Li

Tks for all the information.

try Steve Tan at toa payoh range. his weekend group lessons are catered for junior golfers only. my elder son learned under him and graduated while my younger son is learning now.

try Mashuri Sapowan at mandai or Johari Suboh at bishan.

My daughter (6 yrs) is taking group lessons from Kamisan at Punggol Range on Sundays.

Notice that you are staying in Queenstown, so I would recommend Heartlands Golf School at JCC. They have a structured junior golfers programme from beginners all the way to elite level. Classes are conducted on either Saturday or Sunday so you can decide which works best for you and your kid. My girl is taking lessons there and its a good place to build up their foundations. IMO, the lesson should be fun and interesting to keep them interested in the game at such a young age, and doing it in a class is more enjoyable for the kids rather than a one-to-one lesson.

I'll happy to introduce you to the school if you are keen. Else you can contact punkrockpga who is one of the teaching pros in HGS.

And if you are looking for a junior golf set for your 6-year old, let me know. I have a set to release at a reasonable price. It used to be my girl's but she has since outgrown the set.

Wow really appreciate all your help and advise

Good advice from Slyster!

Yes, do a group class to keep the interest going, and it needs to be fun! Unless your kids are highly motivated on golf already, difficult to do 1 on 1. I've seen my friends' kids crying and refusing to go for 1 on 1 lessons. Don't think they'll grow up liking golf this way.

My kids, same age as your kids, are taking lessons at Bt Batok Driving Range since February.

All are still happily interested and progressing decently well.

Can try the Phil brew academy at nsrcc.have a fun program for kids,with weekly competitions and stuff,pretty structured lessons

He also has an academy at orchid if I'm not wrong.hope this helps!

Beside Kamisan fm Punggol, Lawrence was gd too.
Was there few occasions on sun morn n witnessed how his lessons was conducted.
Try droppg by n observed n make enquiries.

One more point to add - its good to choose a venue where there is a real course for the kids to try during their lessons. Case in point, HGS in JCC uses the Executive Course for some of their lessons including the putting green, and this makes the lessons more interesting for the kids, rather than just doing range work all the time.

I think based on the comments given that there are plenty of options around, but best to go and talk to the pros and visit their facilities before deciding.

Have a good weekend.

Hi Slyster, Ya i have been to HGS and i do see the kids enjoying themselves. Really thank you for the kind advise.

Its been some time since I have posted but I got to say that Kamisan was the one who taught me everything about golf. He was previously teaching at NSRCC until Phil Brew Golf took over operations for the entire range. I always thought that he has retired for good but I'm glad that he has decided to make a comeback.

A very sincere man, will recommend anyone to go for him.
