"When you teach your children how to play golf, you'll also be teaching them lessons about life. Not only will they learn patience and good manners, but they'll also need to learn about concentration and discipline if they wish to improve," said Chris Arceneaux, Head Golf Professional at Jay & Lionel Hebert Golf Course. "By teaching your kids how to play golf, you're introducing them to a sport they may be able to play for the rest of the lives."
