Golf Balls

Kids lose a lot of golf balls,  it’s all part of learning! In the early stages, golf should be about fun and confidence, not frustration. That’s why it’s best to choose softer, distance-friendly balls that are designed to help junior golfers get the ball airborne more easily and improve control around the greens. These balls are more forgiving on mishits and can help young players see progress faster, keeping them motivated to practice and play more often.

Beyond standard golf balls, it’s also worth having a few special practice balls for use indoors or on the putting green. These can be foam or plastic golf balls, which are perfect for safe practice at home. Or even consider getting some colourful and themed balls, think favourite colours, fun patterns, or designs inspired by Disney characters or superheroes. Personalising their gear in this way helps children connect with the game and makes practice feel more like play. It’s a simple but effective way to make golf engaging, creative, and enjoyable for kids. Turning every putting session or back-garden game into an adventure.

Golf Shoes

When it comes to junior golf, footwear is one of the most important, yet often overlooked pieces of equipment. Kids spend a lot of time on their feet during a round of golf, often walking (running) several miles across different terrains including fairways, bunkers, and uneven rough. That’s why comfortable and supportive junior golf shoes are absolutely essential. Proper footwear not only provides stability and grip during the swing but also helps young golfers maintain balance on all types of ground conditions, from early morning dew to firmer summer fairways.

For kids, comfort is non-negotiable if you want to keep golf fun. Blisters, slipping, or sore feet can quickly turn excitement into frustration. Investing in a well-fitting pair of junior golf shoes or trainers ensures that your child can focus on enjoying the game and improving their skills rather than worrying about discomfort.

At Kondor Kidz, we stock a wide range of kids’ golf shoes from leading brands, offering the perfect combination of comfort, performance, and durability. Whether your child prefers a lightweight trainer-style golf shoe or something with extra traction for stability, we’ve got options designed specifically for young players.

Golf Gloves

A junior golf glove is an essential piece of equipment for any young golfer learning the game. It improves grip on the club, reduces the chance of slipping, and helps prevent blisters during long practice sessions or rounds. A well fitted kids’ golf glove not only offers comfort and protection but also builds confidence by giving children better control of their swing especially in warmer weather or damp conditions when clubs can easily become slippery. 

At Kondor Kidz, we offer a range of high-quality junior golf gloves designed specifically for smaller hands, helping young players stay comfortable and focused while developing their skills on the course.

Golf Apparel

When it comes to junior golf clothing, comfort and flexibility are key to helping kids perform and feel their best on the course. Lightweight, breathable, and stretchy fabrics allow young golfers to move freely through every swing without restriction, as well as keeping them cool, confident, and focused from the first tee to the final putt. The right kids’ golf apparel also helps them look and feel the part, giving them a sense of pride and professionalism while they play. From junior golf polos and performance trousers to weather-resistant outerwear, dressing appropriately ensures your child stays comfortable in all conditions.

At Kondor Kidz, we stock a great selection of junior golf clothes from leading brands, combining style, comfort, and performance, so your young golfer can enjoy every round while looking like a pro.

Tees, Markers, Towels and Other Accessories

It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference when it comes to junior golf. Having their own golf accessories and kit, from tees and ball markers to towels and headcovers, not only makes practice and play more enjoyable, but also helps children feel like true golfers. These small details give kids a sense of ownership and pride, encouraging them to take care of their equipment and learn important values like responsibility and course etiquette from an early age. Plus, having a personalised or fun golf kit can make practice sessions more engaging and help kids build lasting positive habits on and off the course.

At Kondor Kidz, we offer a wide range of junior golf accessories to make every round more exciting, because when golf feels fun, kids are far more likely to stick with it for life.

A Refillable Water Bottle

Staying hydrated is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, parts of junior golf. Whether your child is at a golf lesson, on the driving range, or competing in a junior golf tournament, proper hydration plays a key role in maintaining focus, stamina, and energy levels throughout the round. Long days on the course, especially in the warmer months, can quickly lead to fatigue and lapses in concentration, which can affect both performance and enjoyment. Encouraging kids to carry a reusable water bottle and take regular sips between holes helps them stay sharp and comfortable from the first tee to the final putt.

At Kondor Kidz, we believe that helping young golfers build these healthy habits early sets them up for long-term success, both in their game and their overall wellbeing. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a huge difference in keeping golf fun, safe, and sustainable for kids.
