In this episode of The Golf Sit Down Podcast, we sit down with Andreas Kali, head coach of the Danish Junior Golf Academy. Andreas shares his journey from junior golf in Denmark to competing in college and turning professional, before finding his true passion in coaching. We discuss the importance of mentorship, group training, player accountability, culture, and long-term development. Andreas emphasizes how fostering a love for the game, rather than focusing only on early results, creates players who not only succeed on tour but also stay connected to golf for life. From stories about coaching elite players like Rasmus Nygaard-Peterson (12th at the U.S. Open) to lessons on building positive environments and handling parental expectations, this conversation is packed with insights for coaches, parents, and players alike. 👉 If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe, like, and share with someone who could benefit from these coaching insights!
