A good student is required for the academic requirements of Stanford, so an early start is necessary for that to be accomplished. Parents will need to start the child with golf at an early age and get them motivated to play the game. Certainly going a country club will be a requirement in order to give the child the maximum time to learn the game. Parents will also make sure there is plenty of competition for the child.
