Parents know that coaching or teaching their own child to do anything can be quite challenging. When it comes to golf, those challenges multiply exponentially.

Daddy Caddy on the Bag will help you juggle the often conflicting roles of coach, mentor, caddy, and parent, with the ultimate goal of teaching your child to love golf for life.
Whether you are just starting out or are already deep into your role as your child’s golf coach and caddy, you will refer to this book again and again.
You will discover how to:
• Get your child started in golf at any age, from toddler to teen.
