Birdie Dads: A Golf Podcast For Dads

In this episode we recap the year, and we get ready for golf hibernation. The season is over, the rain is coming and for most of us - this is the end of our golf season. We share highlights from our favorite moments on the show including top golf interviews, the best dad tips, and what we have learned exactly over the past year on this show.

Golf is a tricky game - you can play the same course day after day and see new challenges, new failures, and new ways to win. Parenting is the same. Take it one day at a time, one moment at a time and you will be alright. Enjoy the episode looking back over the past 12 months with the Birdie Dads!

In this episode we highlight my recent golf tournament and we share tips for winterizing your golf game.

First, I played in an individual net golf tournament - where you receive 90% of your golf handicap but follow 100% of the rules. No team, no skins, just individual golf. There was some good - and a lot of bad in my game.

Next, Bryan and Trebor share their upcoming golf tournaments and it brings us to the question: How do you winterize your golf game? Do you pack it up and shut it down, or do you keep it going?

Finally, we talk about what it's like to play in a gross golf tournament from the tips - what would you score?

In this episode we talk about the upcoming Ryder Cup, we look at a new way to have fun golfing with your kids, and our favorite workout routines for golf.

First, it is all about the Kevin Na and Joaquin Niemann - sprinting through 18 holes. Would you be willing to run a speed round and see how fast (and how low) you could score a round of golf?

Second, we get into the Ryder Cup. Do you like Team USA's odds this year? We love the lineup - find out why.

Finally, how do you prepare physically for a round of golf? I've been off golf for a month and have a tournament to prepare for. Where do I start to get ready? Hmmm...maybe yoga?

In this episode we talk about the BMW Championship, we share our secret to enjoying golf, and we talk about a parent scenario that you don't WANT to happen, but it still might.

First, is golf better because of Bryson DeChambeau? It feels like Bryson is making headlines every week - now we need to talk about Brooksy on the course. I say ban it.

Second, what is the secret to enjoying golf? We have it solved. Hang with us to hear what will change everything - and hint...it's not your swing.

Finally, if your 16 year old was caught smoking marijuana at school - how would you handle it as a parent? What questions would you ask and how would you handle consequences at home?

In this episode we review the Shot Scope V3! It is truly one of the best golf devices I currently own and use - why? The data. It's all in the data. The Shot Scope V3 retails for $219 - but is it worth it? Listen and find out how it can change your golf game.

In this episode we discuss tee boxes in golf. Which tee boxes should you be playing?

Then we talk about tournament golf - and what happened recently with our own golf journey. We are a year into this golf podcast and I'm curious how we have progressed.

In this episode we talk about mental health among athletes and kids. And we get into neurology with golf - what are the yips? And how do you treat the yips? What can parents do with expectations and youth sportshttps://www.birdiedads.com/tips-for-youth-sports-with-travis-dorsch/ ( )to increase your child's athletic performance.

First, we discuss Simone Biles exit from multiple Olympic events due to a mental issue. As parents, we look to protect our kids. But when athletes and role models struggle with the daily pressure and anxiety, do we give them the support they need? We break down the facts of mental health among youth including that 1 in 5 kids today (pre-COVID) will experience a mental disorder by the age of 24. We have talked about the role of mental health in golf in previous interviews with Andrew Jensen and Dr. Bhrett McCabe.

Second, we give parents several tips and strategies for discussing mental health with kids. Including the role of listening with your kids and my recommended book:

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, and How to Listen So Kids Will Talk.

Finally, we get to golf and what are the yips? How do you fix them? There have been plenty of professional athletes who have battled the yips - almost every athlete has fully recovered from the yips. With the proper treatment.

How to Play Golf With Your BossDo you go for the win? I have a rule that I always follow when playing golf with my boss - I let him win. BUT, there are a few key pieces of information here - and you need to hear the whole story to decide if you agree. I mean....what's on the line? And just what happens if you win? Do you actually lose? In this episode we each share our golf stories playing a round of golf with our boss - what could go wrong?

1 Golf Tip That Changed My GameI am always looking for golf tips - and this week when I took out two weekend golfers I noticed something really wrong with one swing. So wrong I broke my own rule and handed out some quick advice. I am embarrassed to even share it because honestly....it was so basic! But it worked. And guess what? That single change took me over 20 years to make to my swing and it has had the best impact on my golf swing - hands down.
