Golf’s Next GEN (Official AJGA Podcast)

If you’re a junior golf parent, you don’t just want highlight reels—you want to understand what’s behind them. Golf’s Next GEN gives you a front-row seat to how top junior golfers (and the people around them) think, train, and handle the pressure that comes with bigger events and bigger goals. The conversations are built around real journeys: how players got started, what helped them level up, and what they learned along the way as competition intensified.=

For parents, this podcast is valuable because it helps you see the path—not just the results. You’ll hear how young players balance school and travel, what they do when confidence dips, how they approach preparation, and what “growth” looks like beyond scorecards. Episodes also bring in AJGA alumni and other voices in the golf world, which makes it easier to understand the bridge between junior golf and what comes next (high school golf, college pathways, and opportunities that open up over time).

Instead of telling parents to simply “stay positive,” Golf’s Next GEN gives you better context for the moments families struggle with most: big expectations, tough rounds, comparison, and the temptation to do too much too soon. It’s a smart listen for parents who want their child to keep improving—and keep loving the game—while learning from players who are actively living the junior golf experience at a high level.
