Junior Golf

Many children start learning basic skills from age five to seven with plastic or lightweight clubs. The key is matching club length and weight to height so posture stays natural. Short, fun sessions keep interest high and build confidence.

A package set is great value and covers all the basics with consistent sizing and weight. Single clubs are useful for topping up a set or replacing favourites as your junior grows. If you are unsure, start with a package and add a wedge or hybrid later.

Use height rather than age as your primary guide. Each brand lists height bands for their sets, so measure your junior in shoes and compare with the chart. If between sizes, choose the shorter for control or size up if a growth spurt is close. We display ages on all junior clubs as a starting base for you.

Junior graphite shafts are lighter and more flexible to help create speed and launch. As strength and technique improve, moving to slightly firmer junior shafts can tighten dispersion. A quick range session will tell you if the ball is launching high enough with a stable flight.

Availability varies by brand and height band. Check product pages or ask our team for the latest options.

Proper golf shoes improve grip and stability which supports balance and safe movement. Spikeless designs are versatile for clubhouse wear and school runs, while spiked soles help in wet conditions. Prioritise comfort, waterproofing and a secure heel fit.

Softer-compression balls feel better at moderate swing speeds and help with launch and distance. Bright colours can be easier to track for younger players. Trial and error is always best here, try out our range and find the ball your junior prefers.

A glove should feel snug without pinching or bunching across the palm. Junior sizing varies by brand, so use the size chart and measure from wrist crease to fingertip. A well-fitted glove improves grip and prevents rubbing.

Cut down adult clubs are often too heavy in the head and too stiff in the shaft once shortened. This can promote poor technique and reduce enjoyment. Purpose built junior clubs are lighter and better balanced for learning.

Growth rates vary, but many juniors move up a height band every 12 to 24 months. Look for sets with clear height ranges and consider resale or hand-me-downs to siblings. Regular checks of posture and strike will tell you when it is time to size up.
