Happy boy playing golf in full swing

 Alice a.

Golf is a game that can be enjoyed by all ages, all backgrounds and by people from all walks of life. Throughout the course of the year, I will write on all things golf, from instruction to the latest in technology, to the newest golf apparel. 

Junior golf has really escalated in the past 15 years, just as other youth sports, Little League Baseball and soccer. In the late 1900s, junior golfers that resided in the state of Alabama could make a full summer schedule playing events around our state and never have to leave. My comparison of junior golf to Little League Baseball and soccer is the ongoing trend to compete on travel teams. Years ago, there were All-Star teams in baseball, and that was about it. Now, almost every sport has an option for children to compete year-round and they are encouraged to participate on travel teams. It’s almost as if each sport is competing against the others.
