The Short Game of #Golf is in Capable Hands! #Video

While CNN writes gloom and doom articles about the state of golf on the grassroots level, Esquire Network shows us that kids are the future of the sport with its newest TV show, The Short Game.

Although, as CNN states, the game is going through a slump in popularity (and they have a point), with the number of newcomers falling by twenty percent in the U.S. in the last year, Golf for Beginners remains positive that the sport will bounce back in popularity...and it starts with the kids in the video you see below.

Watch as kids with golf swings better than most Tour pros, focus on making it to the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship and wonder if your kids have the right stuff to compete, and win, at this super intense level.
