This transcript is from a podcast episode about a professional golfer's journey in the sport. The host and guest discuss the monthly costs of playing golf, the guest's experience traveling for junior golf tournaments, and who they preferred traveling and spending time with. The guest's dad traveled with her for tournaments and was the one who planned them out, but was also the stricter golf parent. The guest's mom, who knew nothing about golf, did not travel with her daughter as often. Surprisingly, the guest preferred traveling with her mom because her dad was often hard on her.
