I had the opportunity to caddie for my 8 year old nephew at one of his Cape May County Junior Golf Foundation golf tournaments. He was playing Buena Vista Country Club in the 6 to 9 age group (5 Holes from 200 yards or less). It was a fun time watching him compete for points against the other children in his age group. During the round, I was giving him some direction, recommending clubs, but mostly letting him go out and have fun playing golf with his friends. On the second hole, he drove his ball into the woods, but had a clear view to the green over a huge sand hazard, and the ball was sitting in junk. He pulled out a 5 iron, I suggested a 7 iron, hit it high and get it over the hazard. He hit the 7 over the hazard and onto the fringe of the green, wow was I stressed. At the end of the golf tournament, he ended up tied for second and got 50 points for his effort. Since they only had first, second and third place awards, they needed to settle second and third place to give out the awards, it was settled with a chip off. My nephew ended up with the third place award. It was a fun outing and great for the kids, if your children are into golf, this is a great way to learn the game, rules and make new friends.
