All that said... went and got some used clubs for my son over the weekend and he will have a few "pro" lessons before I take him to a Pitch n Putt course this Summer.
I remember Butch Harmon saying on TV that when it comes to kids and golf the best thing for them is play the sport and have fun with other kids their age (under the supervision of a coach) at a local league/club rather than individual lessons. When they get older and progress to a certain level that is the time they will need one on one coaching/lessons with a professional instructor.
