Kids’ club sets teach them the basics of golf and, particularly, patience. The golf sets you’ll find are made out of durable plastic, including the golf bag, so they can wheel it along as they putt their way to the marker.
Putt putt golf sets are a great addition to any backyard, with or without a grassy area. They just need a place where the balls will roll so they can practice their putting skills and accuracy.
