Growing the Game: Teaching Children Golf, Confidence & Life Skills with LPGA Master Professional Nancy Stuart How do we teach children golf in a way that builds more than a better swing? In this inspiring episode of The Traveling Golf Diva Podcast, host Doris R. Muscarella sits down with LPGA Master Professional Nancy Stuart to explore how junior golf instruction can build confidence, discipline, resilience, friendships, and a lifelong love for the game. Nancy shares her journey from discovering golf at age 13 on a nine-hole par-3 course in Chicago to becoming an accomplished LPGA golf professional, educator, junior golf coach, First Tee Recognized Coach, and author. At the heart of Nancy's teaching philosophy is a simple but powerful message: “Make it fun.” Nancy explains why successful kids golf instruction isn't about forcing young golfers into a one-size-fits-all program. It's about understanding how each child learns, introducing skills at the right pace, creating achievable goals, and allowing children to experience the joy of improvement. Building Golf Skills—and Life Skills Nancy takes us inside her progressive eight-week junior golf program, where children develop their games step by step—from putting and chipping to pitching, the full golf swing, and on-course play. You'll hear why games, medals, friendly competition, and achievable goals can motivate young golfers without creating unnecessary pressure. Nancy and Doris also discuss an important question for parents: When is the right age for a child to start playing golf? Nancy's answer: when the child is ready—not simply when the parent is ready. Growing Girls Golf and Expanding Access This conversation goes beyond traditional junior golf. Nancy discusses the importance of girls golf programs, social connection, adaptive instruction for special-needs golfers, and programs serving veterans through golf. These programs demonstrate how golf can become a vehicle for confidence, inclusion, community, healing, and meaningful human connection. Nancy also shares lessons from her work with First Tee and how those experiences helped shape her approach to coaching and youth development. Helping Golfers Become Their Own Best Teacher Nancy's book, How to Learn Golf Your Way, reflects one of her most important teaching philosophies: “I want you to become your own best teacher.” Rather than simply telling students what to do, Nancy helps golfers understand their own movements, learning styles, and tendencies. She also shares her approach to putting instruction and explains how balance, movement, and fundamentals can carry from putting through chipping, pitching, and eventually the full golf swing. You'll even learn about D D C F C, an easy-to-remember teaching tool Nancy uses with young golfers to reinforce distance, direction, clubface control, and focus. AI, Technology & the Future of Golf Instruction Can artificial intelligence, golf apps, video analysis, and launch monitors help someone become a better golfer? Nancy believes technology can be a valuable tool in modern golf instruction—but it should support rather than replace the relationship between a golfer and a great coach. Golf remains deeply human. It's about learning together, playing together, building confidence, developing social skills, and creating relationships on and off the golf course. 🎧 What You'll Discover in This Episode How to introduce children to golf without creating pressureWhat makes an effective junior golf coachHow to determine when a child is ready to start playing golfWhy fun is essential to youth golf developmentHow putting, chipping, pitching, and full-swing skills can be taught progressivelyHow parents can encourage young golfers without forcing the gameWays to introduce competition without damaging confidenceWhy girls golf programs are important to growing women's golfHow adaptive and special-needs golf programs expand access to the gameThe role golf can play in veterans' healing, community, and connectionHow First Tee influenced Nancy's coaching philosophyHow technology and AI golf instruction are changing coachingWhy the human relationship between coach and golfer still mattersWhat helps children develop a lifelong love of golf Nancy Stuart on Teaching Golf “Make it fun.” “I want you to become your own best teacher.” “Golf has got them out on the golf course.” Growing the Next Generation of Golfers Whether you're a parent, junior golf coach, LPGA or PGA professional, golf instructor, youth sports leader, or someone passionate about growing the game of golf, this episode offers practical insights into developing the next generation of golfers.
