Not a bad thought 4sure! If I had my son's athletic career to do over, he would have had a golf club glued to his hand from 3yrs on up. (I was too poor and my family barely knew what golf was).
I would have surely played baseball instead of working at the grocery store though.

(I was too poor and my family barely knew what golf was). Golf is a great game to get into. You can play your whole life. Tennis is similar. Golf is an expensive sport no matter how you do it though. About the time I was old enough to start playing golf my parents divorced and even though my dad was an avid golfer he moved on with his life when he moved out of the house. Teaching me to play golf wasn't part of his new fun filled single life. I got into camping, hunting and fishing, my dad liked fishing too and he always had a boat and we went on lots of dove shoots and did a little quail hunting. Those are activities you can do your whole life too if you want to. I played football from 8 yrs old until after 9th grade when I went to work on a construction crew in the summers. I was told in no uncertain terms that if I wanted a car I would have to buy it so I opted for working, money and a car rather than football, no money and walking. Baseball, at least organized baseball, wasn't a thing in our neighborhood or among any of my friends. My father and grandfather were both very good baseball players (my dad was drafted by St. Louis out of UGA and my grandfather was offered a full baseball scholarship to UGA around 1930) and I was good with a bat but never played enough to know if I could field worth a damn. I was beyond terrible at basketball. I was slow, couldn't jump and not a great shooter or ball handler. I knew early on not to even attempt basketball at any level beyond driveway basketball.
