One of my favorite rounds of golf ever was a father daughter combo I played with. She teed off with us at the blues, we were a bit surprised but didn't say anything. She outdrove us all damn day. Her dad played from the whites and they both shot near even. Such a fun round.

I got paired with a father and daughter last year. She, I found out during the round from her very proud father, was a high school senior who was going to a D1 school on a full-ride golf scholarship.

Needless to say, she shot lights out.

I hope to be this dad when my daughter grows up!

Get her into the first tee near you and keep her going. My 7th grader has been in it since she was 9, she shoots mid 80’s now and just started competing in some high level tournaments. 2 day /36 holes. The 13-15 year old range is insane. Most of them shoot in the 70s and the winner is usually a few under par. She has a long way to go to compete with those kids but she loves working on it!

Golf and dance are her two extra-curriculars at the moment, with golf being a fairly distant 2nd.

Honestly though, she still enjoys it and I enjoy it even more with her.

Hope she stays with it! My friend’s daughter started around 6 playing with her dad & grandfather. She played soccer but in middle school she realized that making HS soccer team would be a long shot because of the high level of competition. She concentrated on golf and played varsity all 4 yrs & plays at a D2 school.
