If she is athletic, if she enjoys the game, and if she continues to play on regular basis, she can become a solid high school golfer. And if she has natural talent, she may leap-frog over other kids who have invested thousands of hours in private lessons and practice rounds.

Meanwhile, they will be competing against kids whose parents have country club memberships that enable them to be on the course more often and working with club pros [/quote]

True -- but about two-thirds of the girls at in the US Kids tournaments do not fall into the country-club category. At least, this is my estimate based on my child's experience in the 7 and 8 year old age bracket, and now the 9 and 10 year old age bracket. And sometimes the "regular" kids do beat the country club kids. My point to the original poster is this: don't be intimidated by the amount of money that some parents spend on golf training for their kids. If your daughter has fun playing golf, and if she has some natural ability, then there absolutely is a low-cost path forward that will allow your daughter to be a solid high school golfer.[/quote]
