Dannii Minogue's little boy Ethan is taking after dad Kris Smith and getting into the golfing swing of things Kris Smith is a keen golfer and his son Ethan, 3, could be the next Tiger Woods if he keeps practicing his swing.

Snapper Media Source: Snapper Media HE'S three years old and, if his parents have anything to do with it, Ethan Minogue Smith may some day be the next Tiger Woods. His attentive mother Dannii Minogue has admitted she organised private golf tuition for the toddler during a trip to Hayman Island this week. His father Kris Smith has previously told this writer the little fellow can now tackle nine holes on a golf course. That's nine holes! That's a whole lot of walking for a toddler whose legs are only about 40cm long. According to Ken Druce, golf pro at Sydney's prestigious Royal Golf Club, professional golf lessons on Hayman Island would cost upwards of $130 an hour which, if Ethan's golf game is mediocre, is a premium price for babysitting. But not to worry, Dannii, who booked Ethan in for back-to-back days, tells us her son is pretty good. He has an "amazing swing," she said. Smith, too, is impressed with his son's form which has come along nicely since his father gave him a set of plastic golf clubs at Christmas. Druce said Ethan had likely moved on to graphite clubs on Hayman Island. "That's what the youngsters start on," he said. Druce added that at age three, the key issues for a "little fella" of Ethan's stature is having balls thrown at him constantly so he can work on his hand-eye co-ordination. "He just needs to hit anything, with anything," Druce said. Woods was six months old when his father first noticed he was a golf star in the making. Tiger's father Earl was a single-figure handicap golfer who coached his son and only child from infancy. Only child Rory McIlroy was two when his father, Gerry, a scratch handicap golfer, started coaching his son to greatness. Meaning that only child Ethan Minogue Smith, whose father is a single-figure handicap golfer and mother is not to be trifled with, might be predestined for greatness on the course.
