The Golf Parent

Helping parents raise great junior golfers, on and off the course. The Golf Parent is a podcast for junior golf families, covering the mental game, player development and the road to college golf. Each episode is a conversation with someone who has seen it up close: tour coaches, sport psychologists, NCAA Division 1 coaches, tour players and parents of pros. 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? Guests across 60+ episodes include: Mike Thomas, Justin Thomas's dad and coach Dr. Rick Sessinghaus, Collin Morikawa's longtime coach Kevin Kirk, Patrick Reed's longtime coach Megan Khang, LPGA Tour winner Jason Baile and Bernie Najar, PGA Teacher & Coach of the Year in 2025 and 2026 Matt Thurmond, Arizona State men's golf coach More at thegolfparent.com
