Golf is a lifetime sport for players of all ages and abilities. I'm sure some golfing parents have a club in their son's or daughter's hands as soon as they can walk. And I know there are players over years old still playing.
I started our grandson, Cohen Arbogast, hitting the ball when he was only 2 and he loves the game. My golfing buddy, the late Al Via, was still playing up to a year before he died at the age of
Via's love for the game led him to starting the Vicki Via Dotson Celebrity Golf Tournament to fight leukemia, which took the life of his daughter.
