FROM THE CART PATH: CONTROL
KEY FOR PARENTS AND JUNIORS

The golf parent develops in similar ways to that of the player. Most juniors begin their athletic careers with team sports and grow into golf. In the process, they learn the difference between emotion-driven team sports and the more controlled, inhibited golf environment.

So it is with parents. We can yell and scream and jump up and down on the sidelines at a soccer game, but the same behavior at a junior golf tournament will inspire at best a dirty look and, at worst, dismissal from the event.
