What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really enjoy this unique perspective from the coaches about NCAA golf Mike’s podcast provides. As a dad with two young lady golfers, I appreciate that you also mix in interviews with women’s golf coaches and provide the opportunity for them to share insight about their program, experiences, and what they are looking for in a player they’re trying to recruit. Thank you!

I really enjoy listening to this podcast since I have two young daughters that are aspiring to play in college. It has been very helpful for me with how to act and support my children. I am also going to start sharing these with them. Thanks Coach!

I came across this podcast about two months ago and I’m hooked. I’m not usually a podcast type of guy. Every week I look forward to Coach McGraw’s podcast. This is a particularly good podcast for parents of elite Junior golfers, and for the players themselves whether it be juniors heading to college or in college.
