Monday Mini: What Age is it okay for Kids to have Golf Lessons? Nick outlines the '4 ways to learn to play golf'.

A Monday Mini today following an email we received from Trigger. So, here's the scenario. Trigger's young fella is 6-years old, and loves his golf. At the moment he's just playing for fun, which is perfect. Trigger is wondering, and would like Nick and Mark's view, what is the right age to get his son some lessons or is it best to let him just keep playing for fun for now.

Nick and Mark have some thoughts and chat through them, and give a couple of tips.

We then talk about Nick and Marks first lessons, how old were they, who were the lessons from. Mark talks about what he learned from watching one guy at his club when he was a kid. Nick discusses the 'four ways' of learning to play golf, and explains how he rebuilt his swing using one of the techniques - which was coincidentally the same technique that Jack Nicklaus used.

Mark tells a story, which he is unsure is true and asks if anyone can confirm or otherwise, about a golfer who went to prison for 15-years and rebuilt his swing successfully while in prison.

And you may recall we offered a prize last week if anyone could provide video footage of Boo Weekley in the boxing ring with an orangutan....nobody was able to, but Pete did message us saying that whilst to his knowledge no footage exists, there was a chat on a US podcast where Boo talked about it. We play a clip on todays show - you can watch the full episode of that chat with Boo on the Dale Earnhardt Jnr podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBRgQo42t44
