Gripping it and ripping it, as former Open champion John Daly so eloquently puts it, has never been easier for juniors.
There's also never been a better time to get kids into golf with modern day fears that too much TV and video games are creating obesity problems in the latest generation of youngsters.
But golf is not only a great way for juniors to combat health and fitness worries, it is also an ideal place to learn about etiquette, rules and how to conduct yourself in a well-mannered and respectful fashion.
Golf itself has grown too, working hard to make itself accessible and newcomers to golf will find changing attitudes within golf clubs with many operating child friendly policies and offering plenty of playing opportunities including starter and taster sessions.
This is reflected in discounted rates, special tees and access to the course with little or no restriction.
It's also important to clarify that all PGA members who coach or teach children are regularly CRB checked to ensure they comply with government regulations on working with youngsters.
