Maybe this is part of it...  I am working in my home office, watching some show I can't tell you the name of, but the final guest was an 8-year-old cute little Asian girl, who has been playing golf for two years now, and has won many, many tournaments. The had the P3Pro set up for her, and she hit a drive 169 yards with a clubhead speed of 73.8 mph! Didn't catch it quite clean, and it faded a little, but NOT BAD, especially for an 8-year-old!!

ahhh. Now I understand. Thanks.
And you're probably correct, though on the men's side I've read several articles where successful players were "range rats," i.e., the parent or parents would drop them at the golf course with a few bucks while they were at work, and they'd spend the day there, usually "adopted" by someone at the course and helped out with their game. :0)

In today's world, the range rat is probably an extinct species. To scary to leave a kid out by himself all day now.

I can agree with that to a point, but if set up correctly I think they could do this.

One would certainly think so, but at the two munis that are closest to where I live, and where I go to practice, but rarely play, I see it quite regularly. I've even bought them and bucket of balls on occasion! :0)

Am sure this leaves a good impression on them and adds to their all around learning.
