Even if you never played golf, show your enthusiast and express your interest of learning golf with your child.
In some courses adults can play for free with youth golfer...So, call your local golf club and ask if they have a family or a golf for kids special day!
You may take a visit to the driving range and spend some time with your child hitting some balls, this is really what kids golf is about...spending quality time with your kids.
Try to play during a non-peak hours to make sure that your child gets an opportunity to enjoy the golf experience fully. Just call your local golf club and ask about their non-peak hours.

Contact your local club and ask if they offer golf lesson for kids or if they have a Golf for Kids programs or kids golf clinic.

Please, keep in mind my most important Tip: when playing golf with your kid, take your time and enjoy each moment you share together. Don't forget: it is not a competition! Kids golf for the Fun, so let, both of you, enjoy the beauty of the course and play for the Fun...not for the scores.
However, if you really want to count your scores...I suggest The Match-Play (Play for the Hole!). The Player who takes the less number of strokes to play a hole, will win the hole. The winner will be the player who won the most holes during the game.
Either way, scoring or not, when playing golf with your kid never forget to Have the Most Fun possible!
SideNote: If you think it's too soon for the Golf course and you are not ready to get involved with the great game of golf for kids...try the Miniature Golf course. Yes, think about Kid Mini Golf as you and your kid practicing the short game! I guaranty you a lot of fun.
Enjoy your Kid Golf Game,
