Golf Offers a Positive Mentoring Environment with
Minimal Risk of Injury For Kids

The golf course is a safe place and facilitates mentoring relationships for youngsters. From when I was 12, every summer my parents dropped me off at the golf club on their way to work at eight in the morning and then picked me on their way home in the evening. Occasionally, I caught a ride about 10 at night with a member going my way. My parents never had to worry about where I was or who I was with.

Golf is the world’s best babysitter.

As well as being friendly with a small group of junior members, I had mentor-like relationships with many people three or four decades older than myself; Ernie Moore, Billy McKeach Peter Thomson, Mick Price, ‘Keep Your Head Down’ Henry and many others. They were cops, lumber salesman, small business owners and entrepreneurs; in other words, an amazing slice of real life. While the language on the golf course was often a bit raw for my young ears, the counsel from these ordinary folks was sound.
