They watch their dads, their parents, competing all the time, the highs and the lows. And the times when everyone gets together to watch them. There&#8217;s always a wait. It&#8217;s a pretty tough and frustrating game to be a parent, especially since we&#8217;re so good and so much better than our kids for so long. Like I probably surpassed my dad in golf ability at age 13. 13, 14 years old. So it\u2019s tough for the kids,\u201d he said. &#8220;This (PNC) is a way to get them interested, work on the game and have something to look forward to in a very relaxed way. I enjoy coming here every year because I get to know the sons and daughters of other pros and watch them grow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Padraig then went into golf swing video instructor mode, suggesting good strategies for pre-tournament practice. It&#8217;s all to do with age-old traditions. Eventually, the children will ignore what their father says and no longer want to listen to practice tips, but will listen to what others have to say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As I said before, I always believe that we should be rotated when it comes to this event. In terms of coaching, we should all be assigned someone&#8217;s son or daughter. Then it will be much easier to talk to them and give them lessons,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on Golfweek: Padraig Harrington offers golf tips for non-pros at PNC Championship<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When he&#8217;s not chasing PGA Tour Tournament of Champions titles, Padraig Harrington can be seen in the instructional videos he posts on social media.
