Ep 85 - Marvin Whitson | Building Bulldog Golf

Send us Fan MailOne bad swing can ruin four great holes, and that’s exactly why golf is so brutal and so addictive. After we unpack what we saw in the Bulldogs’ matchup with the top-ranked Jackson Indians, we shift from Friday night lights to fairways and talk with Sikeston Bulldogs golf coach Marvin Whitson about what it really takes to build confident high school golfers.Marvin coaches both the boys and girls programs, and he explains how Title IX helped bring girls golf back the right way, why fundamentals matter more than flashy drives, and how the mental game can be harder to fix than a swing flaw. We get into golf coaching strategies that actually translate to lower scores: course management, short game skills like chipping and putting, and keeping instruction simple enough to use under pressure. If you’ve ever felt your confidence disappear after one miss, you’ll recognise exactly what he’s describing.We also dig into modern golf training and why data matters when you know how to read it. Marvin shares how TrackMan launch monitor numbers like spin rate and launch angle can speed up improvement, plus how The Bunker indoor golf simulator has become a major support for local player development. Along the way, we talk community pride, integrity in a sport where you call penalties on yourself, and why Sikeston golf is on the upswing.Subscribe, leave a review, and share the show with someone who loves Sikeston Bulldogs sports. 👉 Subscribe, rate, and share The Doghouse — your home for Sikeston Bulldogs and everything Sikeston.🎧 Listen: Apple | Spotify | Amazon Music | Buzzsprout | iHeartRadio🌐 Visit: thedoghouse.buzzsprout.com📱 Follow: Facebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube ✉️ Contact: [email protected]
