The general made by Josh Greendaum in his work The Short Game is that it does not take away from the young athletes childhood to be so committed to golfing. the documentary shows various interviews of pro golfers who all say that the dedication to the sport is teaching them values that the children can use in the future as they become adults. By doing this the producer is trying to convince the viewers that being involved by in such a high level of competition is not hurting their childhood. in conclusion Greendaum's belief is that the kids are still able to experience their childhood even while involved in golfing.
