Helping parents raise great junior golfers, on and off the course.
The questions are the ones junior golf parents ask on the drive home. What do you say, and not say, after a bad round? How do you build confidence that lasts? How does college golf recruiting work? What does it take to earn a D1 golf scholarship?
We ask tour coaches, sport psychologists, NCAA Division 1 coaches and tour pros. Guests include Justin Thomas's dad and coach Mike Thomas, Collin Morikawa's longtime coach Dr. Rick Sessinghaus, LPGA Tour winner Megan Khang and 2025 PGA Teacher & Coach of the Year Jason Baile.

I Was the Problem Parent: Jeff Isler on 20 Years of Junior Golf | The Golf Parent Episode 66
Season 1 · Episode 66
Wednesday, October 7, 2026 • Duration 51:10
A private equity deal moved Jeff Isler and his family from Los Angeles to Dallas. It fell apart 6 months later. He did not want to go back, so he converted a garage and started a junior golf academy in a business he knew almost nothing about. That academy turned 20 last October. It is now an 8,500 square foot facility in Southlake, and Golf Digest named Jeff a Best Teacher in Texas for 2026-27.
In this episode I sit down with Jeff to ask what 2 decades of watching junior golf actually taught him. His son grew up playing alongside Jordan Spieth, Will Zalatoris and Scottie Scheffler, and Jeff says what separated those 3 at 13 and 14 had nothing to do with their golf swings. We also get into the mistakes he made as a golf parent himself, which he says he has apologized for more than once.
🎯 Key Takeaways
- What Jeff saw watching Jordan Spieth play a practice round at 15, and why a missed 45 foot putt in a round that did not count told him everything
- "Only 6 percent of junior golfers play college golf." Why Jeff says the entire job is separating from the group
- Technique and skill are not the same thing: "if my technique looks beautiful and you chip it closer, you win"
- The performance gap: why juniors get technically better and stop scoring better
- The tournament counts behind a district title: one team had about 100 competitive rounds, the other about 300
- "If the tournament were today, what would you shoot?" The question he asks before a round, and the harder version after it
- The 5 words Jeff suggests parents say after a round, and the one thing you do not get to do until your kid brings it up
- The 3 mistakes he made as a golf parent, and the family who fired him a month after their son broke 2 course records

📖 My Book
I wrote a children's book called The Adventures of Chase & Bella: Magic Golf Ball. Chase meets a magic golf ball named Dimply and thinks he has found the secret to playing better. What he finds instead is this: magic flows where your focus goes.
It is a picture book for ages 4 to 8 about growth mindset, handling frustration, and confidence built through effort rather than results. I wrote it over 4 years and finished it before ChatGPT existed. Every word is mine.

The Best Golf Exercises for Junior Golfers with Shaun Diachkoff
Season 1 · Episode 65
Tuesday, August 11, 2026 • Duration 01:05:54
Shaun Diachkoff is the founder of Fairway Performance is TPI certified in both fitness and power.
In this episode I sit down with Shaun to work out what golf parents should actually be doing, for their kids and for themselves. He is a golf dad too. His 5 year old just hit a 93 yard drive on a launch monitor. And Shaun says the most important thing you can do for your child's training has almost nothing to do with your child.
🎯 Key Takeaways
- Why your lower back is where golfers feel pain but almost never where the problem actually is
- The 10 to 20 minute daily mobility routine Shaun gives most clients, and the 3 areas it targets: hips, thoracic spine, shoulders
- The rep range mistake: 8 to 12 reps builds size, 4 to 6 builds the strength golfers actually want, and most of us have been doing the wrong one since university
- Core bracing is not pulling your stomach in. Shaun's Coke can explanation reframes it completely
- Why he calls the deadlift the most underrated exercise in golf, plus the Pendlay position 1, 2, 3 method for learning it without wrecking your back
- When to introduce weights to a junior golfer, why "swing as hard as you can" is the instruction before that point, and what puberty has to do with the timing
- Squat, hinge, push, pull: what each one gives a golf swing, from holding posture to keeping the face square at impact
- The Bulgarian split squat standard that separates most people from tour level lower body strength
- Shaun's advice for parents: look in the mirror first, because kids copy what you do, not what you tell them

She Bet on Herself: How Megan Khang Skipped College and Made the LPGA Tour | The Golf Parent Ep. 64
Season 1 · Episode 64
Wednesday, July 22, 2026 • Duration 01:06:53
At 17, Megan Khang turned down a full ride to Wake Forest, skipped college entirely, and turned pro the week before the final stage of LPGA Q-school. She earned her full tour card on the first try. Now in her 11th season, she is an LPGA Tour winner, a US Solheim Cup player, and the first golfer of Hmong descent to compete on the LPGA Tour.
In this episode I sit down with Megan to unpack the family behind that decision. Her dad left his job as an auto mechanic to learn golf. Her mom taught kindergarten and never let the grades slip. And instead of hiding the family finances, her parents put them on the table. Megan says that honesty is exactly what taught her to perform under pressure.
🎯 Key Takeaways
- Why financial honesty at home built Megan's ability to handle tour-level pressure
- Her dad's rule: if you try your best and lose, that's fine. Not trying your best is the problem
- The after-school system that got her through AP classes while missing 12 to 14 school days a year for tournaments
- Why Megan refuses to be "Megan Khang the golfer" and how separating identity from results protects her game
- Swing at 80 percent, Annika's think box and play box, and the putting question that changed everything: how would you putt if you knew it was going in?
- A full week in the life on the LPGA Tour, from coffee crawls on Mondays to her exact 60-minute warm-up
- The PXG story and her dad's motto: the worst they can say is no

Why Confident Junior Golfers Think Differently | Dr. Bob Winters
Season 1 · Episode 63
Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 01:06:15
What separates junior golfers who thrive under pressure from those who fall apart when things go wrong? In this powerful episode of The Golf Parent, Ryan Addams sits down with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Bob Winters, also known as “The Confidence Doctor,” to explore the mental skills that shape confidence, resilience, and long term success in junior golf.
Drawing from more than 50 years of experience working with athletes, coaches, and performers, Dr. Bob explains why confidence is not something golfers are born with, but something they build through habits, perspective, and learning how to stay fully present one shot at a time. He breaks down the emotional traps young golfers fall into, including fear of mistakes, perfectionism, frustration, and the pressure to constantly perform.
Parents will gain practical tools to help junior golfers compete with more freedom, confidence, and emotional control. From creating a safe environment at home to helping players recover after bad shots and difficult rounds, this conversation is filled with timeless lessons on mindset, character, and performance. Dr. Bob also shares why great putters think differently, how elite athletes respond to adversity, and why the best competitors understand that they are always either winning or learning.
If your junior golfer struggles with confidence, nerves, frustration, or bouncing back after mistakes, this is an essential conversation on how to build the mental foundation needed for both golf and life.
🔑KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Great junior golfers learn how to stay present one shot at a time
Confidence is built through habits and perspective, not talent alone
Fear of mistakes can quietly damage performance and development
Parents play a major role in shaping emotional resilience
The best competitors focus on learning instead of perfection
Great putters believe every putt has a chance to go in

Wednesday, April 22, 2026 • Duration 52:41
In this episode of The Golf Parent Podcast, Ryan sits down with Jon Tattersall to challenge some of the biggest myths in junior golf and uncover what actually drives long-term success. From his journey moving from England to becoming a respected coach in the United States, Jonbrings a unique perspective shaped by curiosity, experience, and a willingness to question everything.
This conversation dives deep into the realities of player development, especially for young golfers. Jon explains why many traditional beliefs in golf are holding players back, and how focusing on speed, ground forces, and athletic movement can unlock a completely different level of performance. He also shares why “natural talent” is often misunderstood, and how the bestplayers separate themselves through intentional practice and a relentless desire to improve.
For parents, this episode is packed with powerful insights on how to truly support a junior golfer. From tracking the right stats to handling post-round conversations, Jon emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where kids can learn, fail, and grow without unnecessary pressure.

He Started Golf at 19... Now He’s Coaching the Next Generation - Harrison Kovelman
Wednesday, April 1, 2026 • Duration 45:02
In this episode of The Golf Parent Podcast, Ryan sits down with Harrison Kovelman to explore a non-traditional path into the game and what it reveals about developing junior golfers the right way. Harrison didn’t grow up playing elite junior golf. In fact, he didn’t even pick up the game until age 19. But what started as curiosity quickly turned into passion, and that passion evolved into a career in coaching, content creation, and helping others fall in love with the game.
This conversation challenges many of the assumptions parents have about junior golf development. Harrison emphasizes that fun is not just a bonus, it’s the foundation. When kids enjoy the game, they stay longer, practice more, and develop more naturally. Instead of obsessing over distance or early results, he explains why solid contact, creativity, and a strongshort game should take priority in the early stages.
Ryan and Harrison also dive into how technology is reshaping golf and how parents can use it as a tool without letting it become a crutch. From launch monitors to content creation, the modern game offers more opportunities than ever for young players to grow, improve, and even build a personal brand. Harrison shares why intentional practice matters more than volume and how anyone, regardless of skill level, can document their journey and become a golf influencer.
This episode is a powerful reminder that there’s no single path in golf. Whether your child is just starting out or already competing, the goal is to build a love for the process, not just chase results.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
- Fun is the foundation for long term development in junior golf
- Starting later in golf does not limit long term success
- Solid contact and short game matter more than distance early on
- Creative and engaging practice keeps kids invested in the game
- Technology can accelerate development when used intentionally
The Putting Secret Pros Trust (AimPoint Explained) - Mark Sweeney
Tuesday, March 24, 2026 • Duration 53:09

Mark explains how the AimPoint system works, why slope is the most important factor in predicting break, and how golfers can learn to read putts with surprising accuracy using simple physical feedback.
The conversation breaks down some of the biggest myths in putting, including why golfers often misjudge where a putt actually breaks and why the middle portion of the putt matters far more than the final few feet near the hole. Mark also explains why speed control is the true foundation of great putting, and how players who master distance control dramaticallyimprove their ability to hole more putts.
For junior golfers and their parents, this episode highlights why developing a strong short game early can create a massive competitive advantage.
