In this Tiger Dads roundtable, we’re joined by Jon Garland and Randy Sklar, the funnier Sklar Brother, for an honest conversation about raising kids in competitive golf and navigating the pressure that comes with it.
Drawing on Jon’s experience as a professional athlete...and now a golf dad...we talk about how every level of the game gets harder, from junior tournaments to elite competition, and why so much of the stress kids feel often starts with us on the sidelines. We discuss the importance of helping junior golfers stay calm during tournaments, managing expectations around scores and results, and remembering that the real goal is helping kids fall in love with the game, not chasing outcomes.
This episode is for any golf parent who has paced the fairways during a round, felt the nerves watching their kid compete, or wondered how to better support confidence, enjoyment, and long-term growth in junior golf...especially when the pressure starts to rise.
