Summary

546: Common question: What’s the best way to get my child interested in playing golf? Finally an answer that works, is fun, and has a school curriculum designed by education professionals. SNAG (Starting New at Golf) is the best “first-touch” program I’ve seen. It uses big clubs & balls, bright colors and language that all children would understand. But it’s not just for children, this system works for anyone who’s never held a golf club before. Our guest is John Johnson. The video includes the full interview and Golf Smarter host Fred Greene’s first swing with the Super SNAG Launcher (Driver) getting a Super SNAG Hole in One! http://snaggolf.com and http://snagpros.com for schools, parks, and camp programs.

0:07.8	The most effective method to get children to fall in love with golf is SNAT.

0:15.8	This is Golf Smarter Premium.
0:18.9	Here's your host, Fred Green.
0:21.7	Welcome to the Golf Smarter Podcast, John.
0:23.6	Thank you very much.
0:24.4	Glad to be here.
0:25.1	Great to be here.
0:26.0	You know, frequently I'll get listeners writing to me asking, you know, I want to get my
0:31.6	kids started in golf.
0:33.4	What shall I do?
0:34.7	It's like, why are you asking me?

1:12.7	And families live in neighborhoods,
1:11.0	and neighborhoods have parks, right? And so Snag is designed
1:16.7	to be entirely above ground. So with our equipment, okay, the ball is a Velcro-based ball.
1:25.7	When it hits, it sticks. Same reward that you had before. And a child can do this.
