Games to play on the course with my lad?

Yeah, these promo TOS can be super tricky if you don't catch the fine print. I’ve had a similar run-in on a different platform where I thought I had met all withdrawal requirements, only to discover that promo-related funds had their own separate terms.

Kids become competitive quite young but stand no chance against mum or dad, no matter how many shots they get.
What kids need and enjoy is competition with his/her own age.
Are there any junior coaching classes near you where he can go and meet other kids his own age and play with them....longest drive/nearest the pin, 4 hole comps etc?

My lad (9 in a couple of months) is really starting to show an interest now so fingers crossed my dream of booking golf hotels every holiday and having the perfect excuse to always play is still alive. I've noticed if I take him out on the course he seems to hit the ball much better than on a Sim / Range and I think its just because he's more engaged.

Our course (like most) is near enough a ghost town after 5/6pm (particularly on weekends) and there is a a few loops I could do with him but I'm wondering if anyone has any games they have done with juniors to make it more fun?. Whenever we've done it I've just let him tee off half way up the hole and not really put any competitive spin on things but I think with my lad having a target on each hole would keep things interesting?

I'm thinking of trying things like:

• Getting to within 40 - 70 yards of my shot on the fairway and saying if he gets it past my ball he wins a point etc.
• Making a Par 5 a par 10 for him and if he gets it under 10 then he wins the hole. (Again moving his tee shot right down the hole when needed)

Any suggestions which have worked with your kids? I'm really trying to get the balance right because although I am obsessed with the game I don't want to push it too much and him end up not liking it - he's showing more and more interest though so at the same time I want to take every opportunity to get out there and keep him off his Ipad / Games The ideas of making par 10s out of par 5s are also great, as it gives him a chance to win. As for not pressuring him, it's great that you want to keep the balance. You might also want to try to introduce more excitement if he's willing, like offering some bonuses or small prizes for winning. I even came across https://casinosanalyzer.com/free-spins-no-deposit/free-chips where you can find free spins, and that could be a good option to develop an interest in excitement in a different form. Do you think that could be a fun alternative?

you could introduce the concept of a "bad hit" where if he makes a certain number of bad hits, he can perform a special task ( run to a certain point on the field).
