From First Tee to Varsity: Building Junior Golfers with Andrew Sherman
The Amateur Golf Podcast by AmateurGolf.comEpisode Notes
Junior golf is booming—and so is the pressure. In this episode of the AmateurGolf.com Podcast presented by Cobra, Kyle sits down with Andrew Sherman, the Varsity Golf Coach at Templeton High School (Templeton, California), to talk about what player development really looks like on the ground.
Andrew shares his own path into competitive golf through San Diego Junior Golf, how he transitioned into coaching, and why the kids on the edge of the lineup—the “varsity bubble”—often face the toughest emotional battle. They dig into how to keep players off the roller coaster, what separates varsity golfers from the rest, and why the 50–100 yard scoring zone and putting fundamentals can change a season.
This episode is for junior golfers, high school players, parents, and coaches who want practical, real-world guidance on building better golfers—and more resilient competitors.
