My how time flies when you're having fun! Looking at this picture, I can't believe that 3 years have elapsed so quickly! Our Uncle Jimmy, an avid golfer, first put a golf club in our daughters hands at the age of four during a family bbq. It became apparent very quickly that she had a natural swing and great form even at that ripe young age. Inspired by what he saw, her grand uncle quickly blessed her with her very own Barbie golf clubs:)
To introduce Brooke to the sport he loves, Uncle Jimmy brought us to an incredible program, The First Tee of Metropolitan New York.

For a few weeks we hoofed it from Westchester to Newark and then quickly decided to find a program closer to home. When a pee-wee division (ages 4-6) wasn't available nearby we formed our own 4 week session on Saturday afternoons for our littlest golfers.
Now that she's seven we've signed up her up for the junior program which cost only $15 for 6 1 hour sessions! You can't beat that! Classes begin mid-April so check out the site to find the location nearest you.
Our little guy is 4 now and he's ready to tee up. Chocolate Chip will be organizing another 4 week pee-wee class for 10 4-6 year olds on Saturdays at 2:30pm at Mosholu in the Bronx. Space is limited to 10 children and will be filled on a first come first serve basis. So if you're interested in exposing your little one to golf, comment on the blog below and we'll be in touch and add you to the class list.
