Swing Routine Developing a solid practice routine with Juniors gives them fantastic structure with their golf at an early age. A simple routine I use for Juniors starting out is: 1. Grip the club (as in tip 1 above), Club face behind the ball, feet together 2. Step–Step (to position their feet apart) 3. Bounce knees keeping weight on balls of feet 4. Turn your back to the target as you swing 5. Swing through to finish, facing the target, with their back foot finishing on their toe (get them to tap their toe to ensure weight transfer) is simple routine over and over gives them a great beginning to a repetitive swing routine.

LeeHarringtonThe GripIf an adult golfer wants to teach a junior to play golf, and they want them to develop and enjoy hitting the ball well, they must encourage the junior to grip the club in the right way.
When young kids first pick up a golf club they tend to place their hands apart on the grip. This creates two levers and no control of the club for the junior.
Do not be too concerned with a perfect grip but do encourage their hands to be touching and together. Some kids can also do better with a two-handed, ten-finger grip rather than learning the overlapping or interlocking finger grip. What is important is the palms of each hand face each other to create a neutral grip.
It is also well worth investing in a junior golf club to get the right grip size. Cutting down
your old golf club will not allow the hands to get in this position on the club as the thickness will be too big for their little hands. In addition, the club will be out of balance, and the heavier weight may be an additional burden.
Swing RoutineDeveloping a solid practice routine with
Juniors gives them fantastic structure with their golf at an early age. A simple routine I use for Juniors starting out is:1. Grip the club (as in tip 1 above), Club face
behind the ball, feet together2. Step–Step (to position their feet apart)3. Bounce knees keeping weight on balls of feet4. Turn your back to the target as you swing5. Swing through to finish, facing the target, with
their back foot finishing on their toe (get them to tap their toe to ensure weight transfer)This simple routine over and over gives them a
great beginning to a repetitive swing routine.
