Explore every episode of the podcast Beyond The Card Podcast

What if the biggest problem in junior golf isn’t pressure, rankings, or scores—but how adults respond to obstacles?

In our very first episode of Beyond The Card, Paul and Logan McGinn introduce the philosophy behind the podcast and the conversation they believe junior golf desperately needs.

From a parent and coach’s perspective—and a 13-year-old elite junior golfer’s point of view—we explore how the role of parents has shifted over the years. Where parents once focused on preparing their child for the path, many now try to prepare the path for the child—removing obstacles, smoothing struggles, and unintentionally limiting growth.

Inspired by the idea that the obstacle is the way, this episode sets the foundation for everything to come:

• Why struggle is not the enemy of development
• How obstacles build confidence, resilience, and ownership
• What parents and players often misunderstand about pressure
• How to support growth without clearing every roadblock

Paul and Logan also break down how each episode of Beyond The Card will work, the topics they’ll tackle together, and why hearing both the parent and player perspective matters.

This podcast isn’t about chasing scores.

It’s about developing people—on and off the course.

Welcome to Beyond The Card.

Beyond The Card is a podcast about youth sports, mindset, and development—told from both sides of the journey. In this short trailer, Paul McGinn and elite junior golfer Logan McGinn introduce the conversations that matter most: pressure, confidence, parenting athletes, and the lessons that never appear on a scorecard.
