“Remember, if your kid gets good at the game, that doesn’t necessarily make them love the game. If your kid loves the game, it’s likely they’ll become good at it. It’s the love should be first.”
Paddy @padraig_h with some epic parenting advice:
This is for coaches but specifically parents.
Try to avoid WHY questions. Why did you go for this par 5 in two, why did you use that club in that situation? The players are making what they think is the best decision at the time and trying their best. It’s very frustrating and irritating as a player especially if you’re a kid answering questions in hindsight after the round. Our brains will always remember the negatives since it’s a survival mechanism. It’s not helping to rehash every mistake. Rather ask them, what do you think you did well today? What’s the best shot of the day you remember? What can you improve on? That’s all the reflection that needs to happen day of or week of.
At 23 seconds he says something that more than half the players I have worked for will argue. He’s not always right but he’s 100% spot on here. He left off hard fairways fly way further than soft ones.
As a team we finished with a 4th place finish in the state tournament!! Super proud of our team. As individual I had a good 1st day shooting 75, but day 2 was struggle. Finished 21st overall but I am going to learn from this experience and get better.
What a day on the course as the Region 9 Girls took to Arlington CC. Razor margins. The lady knight took 🥈while shooting a 309, one shot ahead of Madison Central and one behind LCA, advancing to next week. Individual results Kariann 75 T4. Channing and Georgia 76 T5.

I often hear adults talking what their young child should be doing in practice or what they should be doing in tournaments. The only thing they SHOULD BE DOING is running down the fairway with a smile on their face 🙏
