Golf is a sport that has always been considered for men. In fact, women and children have been playing more and more. And, although it is very likely that a new woman or child golfer only starts playing in families where there is already a husband or a father who plays golf, what a sin...

It seems that if one starts practicing the sport from a young age there are many benefits. The golf course in fact, much more than other sports, can form important aspects of the character of a child.

Here are 5 good reasons why it can benefit a boy or girl who is passionate about the GOLF:

1. FAIRNESS On a golf course there are no referees. The children then learn to respect the rules of the game and to be loyal regardless of the presence of a control figure.

2. PATIENCE A round of golf can last more than 5 hours. This means that when you start you should arm yourself with patience to go through with it. Haste does not exist.  Each hole requires its time.

3. CONCENTRATION As we said above, rushing is no friend of the golf course ... The sport may seem slow but in reality it is not. It is a discipline that requires extreme concentration. The golfer focuses on his or her goal and confronts it with calm and seriousness.

4. SELF-ANALYSIS One plays golf against themselves. They measure their performance by trying to do better than the last time. They analyze in detail every move, every swing, every hole. A child who is a golfer then, grows by leaning about themselves, questioning, thinking about every move before and after it is completed.

5. GOOD MANNERS Golf is a sport known for courtesy and sportsmanship. As we just mentioned, loyalty, patience, concentration, self-analysis are what can be summed up in two simple words: good manners.

What more could a parent ask for? What other sport would be of so much help in the education and development of a child? So, dear fathers and dear mothers, when you find yourself with your little ones confronting the classic Hamlet-like question: 'Which sport shall we try this year?':  Instead of thinking of the usual alternatives like football, basketball, and swimming; why not consider GOLF?!?!  It’s FUN!!

For those who want a practical example: if you were to pass through the Padua area in the next few days, you could see it with your own eyes! Galzignano Terme Spa & Golf Resort is home to the famous youth tournament this year US KIDS OPEN, or more precisely called the US KIDS VENICE OPEN.
