In this week’s episode of Up & In, Armando and Mike welcome a special guest — Robert De Paz, founder of De Paz Golf, coach at Golf Academy USA, and coach of the Belen Jesuit Golf Team. A talented golfer himself with aspirations of turning pro, Coach Robby dives into the Golf Academy Program and how it’s helping young players develop through high-level instruction and mentorship.

He also discusses the implementation of Operation 36, a system that teaches kids golf from the green back — meaning they start at shorter yardages from the hole and gradually move farther out as their skills improve, until they’re eventually teeing off from the box.

The conversation explores the differences between teaching kids versus adults, how coaching golf compares to coaching baseball, and Robby’s own journey from player to mentor — including where he envisions his golf career heading next. The guys also discuss the surge in golf’s popularity and why so many kids are choosing the course over the court or field.

Then it’s on to the World Series: can the Blue Jays finish off the Dodgers in Game 6? Is Shohei Ohtani already the GOAT? And finally, will the Miami Dolphins build momentum off their last win, or fall flat against the Ravens?

That and much more on Episode 120 of Up & In – Diamond Dreams Miami.
