I’ve made every mistake in the book as the parent of a junior golfer, but today we’re going to talk about what we’re doing right. If you’re new here, I’m at host of the GSD golf podcast and parent of a junior golfer. I’ve been a swing coach when I should have been a cheerleader. I’ve been tournament director when I should have let him pick his own schedule. I’ve set expectations when he should just enjoy the game. I’ve done it all. I’ve lost keys to a rental car before a tournament. But at the end of the day, I’m raising a kid that does the right thing, that treats his friends with respect. A kid that has straight A’s in school, cares about academics, a kid that cheers on his teammates even when he’s not playing well. a kid that wants to work hard and wants to do the best he can. I’m not raising a golfer to be a good person. I’m raising a good person that happens to play golf. And so are you. If you’re making mistakes as a parent of a junior golfer like I am, don’t sweat it. It’s about raising a good human, not a great golfer. Let’s go.
