Here are some highlights from this interview.Golf Should Be FunThe number one reason kids don't play golf: it isn't fun. When I get on the course I cannot count how many times I round number 18 frustrated. I believed I should have shot a better score. I knew I could have hit longer drives and hit more fairways. That's fine. How can we take that same game and make it more enjoyable when teaching our kids? One way is to eliminate what is defeating about golf. At least for your kids.This episode highlights similar ways to make golf fun for kids, we had similar talks in our interview with https://golferswhodadpodcast.captivate.fm/episode/e17-george-bryan-iv-bryan-bros-golf-how-we-built-150k-followers-doing-what-we-love (George Bryan IV (Episode 17). )Topics In This EpisodeHow golf helped veterans deal with mental health amid suicide risksWhat Stephen learned through 30 years of experience Why 8/10 kids quit sports before the age of 18How golf teaches life lessons for kids and adultsSimple ways we play that we can change to make it fun for kidsLearn to play from the hole backwards - start with putting, end with the driverHow you teach a kid just learning to putt (hint: it works for adults too)One parent tip for modeling behavior https://www.amazon.com/Enrich-Your-Life-World-Game/dp/1977231217 (Amazon Link to Stephen's book)Support this podcast
