    Growing the Game with Youth on Course
    Jul 28 2026
    In this episode of Cupcakes with Kupcho, Jen and Lesley welcome Steve Martin, Chief Marketing Officer of Youth on Course, for a conversation about making golf more accessible and inspiring the next generation of players.
    Since 2006, Youth on Course has helped young golfers play more than 5 million rounds for $5 or less, removing barriers to entry and creating opportunities that extend far beyond the golf course. Steve shares the organization's mission, the impact it's having across the United States, Canada, and Australia, and why access is one of the most important issues facing the future of the game.
    Jen fields questions from Youth on Course members, reflects on her role as a Youth on Course ambassador and discusses how professional athletes can use their platforms to create meaningful change. Together, they explore what it means to grow the game, why representation and opportunity matter, and how partnerships can help open doors for the next generation of golfers.
    Whether you're a lifelong golfer, a parent, or someone passionate about expanding access to the game, this episode offers an inspiring look at how one organization is helping shape golf's future—one round at a time.
    July is Youth on Course Month. Learn more about the organization's mission and how you can get involved at www.youthoncourse.org.

    Eyes of the Operation with Special Guest Josh Udelhofen
    Jul 9 2026
    Jen and Lesley sit down with LPGA Tour caddie Josh Udelhofen for a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most important—and least understood—roles in professional golf.
    Since joining Team Kupcho in 2024, Josh has been much more than the person carrying the bag. Together, they explore how trust is built between player and caddie, what it takes to prepare for tournament week, and how strategy, communication, and mental management can make the difference between winning and falling short.
    Josh shares his journey from collegiate standout and aspiring professional golfer to caddying on the LPGA Tour, offering insight into everything that happens before the first tee shot. From course mapping and yardage books to club selection, reading conditions, and managing momentum under pressure, he reveals the countless decisions fans never see inside the ropes.
    Jen and Josh also reflect on memorable moments together, including the Solheim Cup, travel preferences, and the difficult conversations that have strengthened their partnership. Along the way, Josh shares practical course-management tips for everyday golfers and explains why preparation, trust, and teamwork are often the biggest competitive advantages in the game.
    Whether you're curious about what a caddie really does or looking to lower your scores, this episode offers a rare look through the eyes of the operation.

    Tour Grind, Personal Growth and Going Viral with James Nicholas
    Jun 16 2026
    Jen and Lesley chat with professional golfer James Nicholas about perseverance, personal branding, and the realities of building a career in professional golf.
    From his days as a multi-sport athlete at Yale University to competing on the Korn Ferry Tour, James reflects on the winding road to professional golf and the lessons he learned along the way. He shares what it was like balancing Division I football and golf, navigating the transition from college athletics to the professional ranks, and the challenges that tested his confidence early in his career.
    Jen and James revisit his memorable first U.S. Open journey, from surviving local and final qualifying to making the cut on one of golf's biggest stages. They discuss the unique pressure and adrenaline of major championship golf, the confidence gained from competing under the spotlight, and what that experience meant for James's future.
    The conversation also explores a different side of James's career—his rise as one of golf's most authentic content creators. James shares how he built a loyal following through transparency and honesty, what goes into creating content while competing professionally, and his advice for young golfers looking to build their own platform.
