Few things in golf are as precious as passing the game down to someone else, especially a junior. Their innocent questions and raw approach to the game are a boon to not just them but their teacher as well. And if there were ever a year to introduce a junior to golf, 2020 was it. The game boomed across the country with golf considered a safe, socially distant sport played outdoors. 

For those who know a junior that has taken an interest in golf, one of the next steps to helping them is suiting them up with the best gear or apparel for their game and their ever-changing bodies. That’s where we come in handy here at GOLF.com. The selection below is a great starting point.
