The Comparison Trap in Junior Golf // Lessons from LPGA's Jenny Bae

In this Tiger Dads episode, Beau and Jason tackle one of the biggest traps in junior golf: Comparing your kids development to their peers. Whether it's tournament scores, driving distance, rankings, growth spurts, or social media highlights, it's easy for parents and players to look around and wonder if they're falling behind. The guys discuss the dangers of comparing your child's development to everyone else's, why late bloomers often get overlooked, and some of the ways they've tried to keep their own daughters grounded when the pressure starts to build. Then Beau and Emmy sit down with LPGA rising star Jenny Bae to talk about her journey through junior golf and beyond. Jenny shares how she got started in the game at just three years old, the sacrifices her parents made to support her dreams, and how golf became a true family activity. She reflects on the lessons she learned growing up, the gratitude she feels toward her parents for introducing her to the game, and why some of her favorite memories aren't about trophies or rankings, but the fun experiences she shared with family and friends along the way.
