We would be honored to feature you as a guest on our Choose Optimism Podcast, where you would be interviewed by our host about your Optimist Junior Golf experience, how it has impacted your life, and what you are doing today. The interview would be conducted virtually at your convenience and would last approximately 30 minutes (edited to a 20–25 minute episode). Our goal is to inspire current and future participants by showcasing the lasting impact of the Optimist Junior Golf program.
