Kids hate golf? really?

As adults, we see golf as a wonderful sport —

disciplined, character-building,

and full of long-term opportunity.

.
But have we ever truly asked how a child feels?

standing alone on the range for an hour?

.

Golf is one of the best sports

to start at a young age.

.
Yet from a child’s perspective,

practice can feel quiet,

repetitive, and lonely.

.

Neurologically, this makes sense.

.
The prefrontal cortex — responsible for focus,

decision-making, and impulse control —

is still developing in children.

.

Meanwhile, the amygdala,

the emotional center of the brain,

is more dominant.

.

That means children naturally

seek stimulation,

connection, and excitement.

.

Now add today’s environment —

screens, fast-paced content,

constant dopamine stimulation.

.
Asking a child to practice alone,

in silence, competing against YouTube

or mobile games,

is an uphill battle.

.

Most children don’t dislike golf.

.
They dislike boredom.
They dislike isolation.
They need friends.
They need positive competition.

.
They need structured challenges

that match the excitement level

of their generation.

.

When kids practice in a

well-designed small group:

.

Focus lasts longer

Motivation increases

Emotional resilience improves

Skills develop faster

.

This is why RS Academy runs structured

Small Group Performance Classes

instead of isolated one-on-one sessions.

.

What works better?

✔ Structured group dynamics

✔ Friendly competition

✔ Shared goals

✔ Team energy

✔ Visible progress within a peer group

.

It’s not just about swing mechanics.

.
It’s about creating an environment

where children want to practice.

.

Our pathway system has proven effective

in developing Thai junior golfers

who have progressed to

international levels —

not by training alone,

but by training within

a performance culture.

.

So the real question is not:
“Why is the course premium if it’s not one-on-one?”

.

The better question is:
Do you want your child practicing alone…
or growing in an environment

that makes them love the game —

and rise beyond it?
