Welcome to Distance to the Pin, a performance-driven podcast built for junior golfers and parents who care about more than just scores. In this episode, elite junior golfer John Svogun and his mom break down the real reason your swing falls apart late in the round and it’s probably not what you think.

Most junior golfers assume they need more swing work, but when timing feels off on holes 14, 15, and 16… it’s usually not a mechanics issue. It’s a capacity issue.

Your body can’t support the swing anymore. In this conversation, John unpacks why strength training is the missing link for so many junior golfers, how modern swing speed is outpacing physical development, and why building the body behind the swing might be the biggest competitive edge a young athlete can create.
