Distance to the Pin is the first performance-driven golf podcast created by a junior golfer for junior golfers and their parents.

Hosted by John Svogun, 2025 U11 Under Armour Golf Spring New England Champion, this show breaks down the practice drills, mindset prep, and challenges specific to junior golfers looking to lower their scores, earn brand sponsorships, and compete at the next level.

Each episode goes beyond traditional practice advice to explore what actually moves the needle in junior golf development, from smarter technical training and strength work, to nutrition, recovery, mental toughness, and competitive preparation.

Listeners learn from John’s first-hand experience, insights from top-rated coaches, and expert guest appearances who understand the demands of high-level youth and competitive golf.

This podcast is designed for youth golfers who are serious about improving and parents who want a clear, long-term development roadmap for college golf and beyond. Distance to the Pin delivers real conversations, proven strategies, and honest insight into what it truly takes to move forward and compete at a higher level.
