I didn't know much about golf growing up.

My parents didn't play golf.

I never played much golf as a kid. I caddied quite a bit but never got serious into golf until about age 15.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

Lots of people still don't think of golf as a sport.

I didn't really get into golf until I was about 14. My mom and dad were taking lessons from a pro an hour and a half from our farm in Cohuna, Australia. When they got home, I'd ask my mom to explain everything they learned - drills and all.

I was never interested in golf until someone brought up the Get Golf Ready program to me.

When I was growing up, golf was the geeky sport. No one really wanted to be associated with it.

Kids below 10 or 12, I think they just need to learn by playing at golf. Later on, in high school, when they develop muscles and everything, that's when they need to see about getting lessons.

Golf is a weird sport. Some days you got it. Some days you don't.
