You're never too young...

If you need any reminding of that fact, look at Tiger Woods. He started playing at the age of 2, at age 3 shot a 48 over 9 holes at the Navy Golf Club in Cypress, California, and won won the 9–10 years boys' event at the Junior World Golf Championships - at age 8!

Now not everybody is going to be a Tiger, we know that! But golf is a great way to make new friends and have fun, no matter what your age.
