#174 Going to crazy golf (8:19mins)

The JOLF Man ·

2026/02/17

Continuing our series on “going to” golf experiences with children. This episode we’re talking about one of the most popular family activities around: crazy golf. Whether it’s on holiday, at the beach, or at one of the amazing new glow-in-the-dark indoor courses, crazy golf is often a child’s first taste of golf. But it also raises big questions for parents—especially around rules, scoring, and that dreaded word: “cheating.” So let’s break it down. How should families approach crazy golf, what

#173 The end of Lewis’s probation?!?? (11:50mins)

2026/02/13

Today we’re recording from South Bersted Primary School at lunchtime on the final day of the spring term. I’m here with Lewis as we reflect on what’s been a busy and eventful six-week half term. From nurture sessions and SEND family sessions to PE, play days, and large group coaching, Lewis has experienced it all. We’ll be talking about the biggest learning curves, the importance of predictability, managing expectations, and what it really takes to grow as a coach. Because in this job, does

Today we’re continuing our series on families, children, and parents finding ways to keep playing golf after those first experiences in school or the local community. And with the weather here in Sussex being absolutely soaking wet, it’s not exactly ideal conditions for getting out on the course.So this episode is all about golf simulators — indoor golf, TrackMan-style tech, and whether simulators might actually offer a brilliant, safe, engaging way for children and their families to play

#171 Going to the Putting Green (11:18mins)

The JOLF Man ·

2026/02/04

This week on the JOLF Man Podcast, we’re heading to the putting green — and it’s all about keeping golf enjoyable and repeatable for children. After last week’s episode on the first trip to the driving range, I’ve been thinking about what comes next. Because one visit isn’t enough… children thrive on repetition and routine. On the putting green, we slow everything down: hold it, tap it, watch it until it stops. No pressure, no perfect technique, and definitely no worries if they putt

#170 A few thoughts on getting children started...

The JOLF Man ·

2026/01/28

A friend of mine texted me the other day. He’d taken his five-year-old son to the driving range for the first time—pictures on Facebook, proud as punch. Then came the question: what do I do next? Lessons? Coaching? And it really got me thinking about the children we introduce to golf in schools, the parents who regularly ask for advice, and our own 14-plus years working in this space. Because maybe—just maybe—the best way to start a child in golf isn’t lessons/coaching, but more play, more

#169 Chat with Lewis. Review of his first few weeks...

The JOLF Man ·

2026/01/20

As Lewis and I were waiting to head into another school to deliver a JOLF nurture session, it felt like the perfect moment to hit record. In this episode, we reflect on Lewis’s first couple of weeks in JOLF life – what he’s noticed, what’s surprised him, and what really matters for the children we work with. We talk enjoyment over “fun”, the power of quiet focus, and why sometimes the most important thing adults can do is say less. Honest reflections, real observations, and plenty to think about if

I LOVE all the chats that I record and say that on every one! This one was great. I love what Pete does and has done over the last 10 years at his facility, Dunes Golf Centre, in Scotland. He has created a wonderful community of golfers (and customers) and really cares about the experience they have when visiting his facility. As always, so much good stuff in this chat for coaches, parents, and anyone involved in golf and grass roots sport.

It was great to catch up with Joe Russell from the "Football Fun Factory" He absolutely "gets" what a fun experience should be for children and i am sure the children that attend and parents that send their children know that Joe is interested in every child's all round development. I don't know a huge amount about football, and have some thoughts on children's football, but this chat got me thinking.
