February in Arizona is basically our Super Bowl of golf — and this episode is all about embracing the energy, excitement, and opportunity that comes with peak golf season.

As the weather turns perfect and courses fill up, tournaments, leagues, and member-guest events take center stage. This is when so many women either fall back in love with the game — or fall in love with it for the very first time.

We are thrilled to welcome Tracey and Debbie from the Seville Ladies Golf Club, two women who help run the ladies club and bring incredible insight into what ladies club golf really looks like. Both guests are also Golf Party Live Retreat alumni, which makes this conversation extra fun and relatable.

In this episode of Golf Party Live, Donna and Brittney Boo break down one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of the golf game: the pre-shot routine.

Inspired by a real-life moment on the course (we've all been there!), this episode dives into why having a consistent pre-shot routine matters not just for your game, but for your playing partners too. If you've ever felt rushed, unsure, or stuck over the ball — or played with someone who takes forever — this episode is for you.

We talk about how a simple, repeatable routine can build confidence, improve consistency, and help you play faster and more enjoyably.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What a pre-shot routine actually is

• Why every golfer — especially beginners — needs one

• How long your routine should really take

• Why "waggles" matter (and what they actually are)

• The difference between a waggle and a wiggle

• Common mistakes beginners make before hitting the ball

• How to create a routine that keeps you confident and fun to play with


Whether you're brand new to golf or looking to tighten up your game, this episode will help you step up to the ball with clarity, confidence, and flow.

⛳️ Perfect For:

✔️ Beginner and intermediate golfers

✔️ Anyone who wants to speed up play

✔️ Golfers who want more confidence over every shot

✔️ Players who care about good etiquette and good vibes

We're back with the incredible Melissa Jackson for Part 2 of one of our most encouraging and heartfelt conversations: how to survive — and thrive — in your very first year of golf.

In Part 1, we focused on the basics: inconsistency, topping, chunking… all the things every beginner battles.

Today, we go deeper into the emotional, mental, and practical challenges that come with being new to this game.

🔥 What's Normal for Beginners
Beginners deal with FAR more than just swing issues. We talk through the struggles no one warns you about, including:
Comparison and self-criticism
Feeling embarrassed or judged by other golfers
Mental fatigue and frustration
Leaving the course drained because improvement feels slow

And we remind you: if you're frustrated, GOOD — that means you care. Frustration is passion in disguise.

🔥 Short Game Avoidance
Let's be honest… most beginners avoid putting and chipping.
But short game is where confidence grows, and it's the fastest path to lower scores.
We talk about how to embrace short-game practice and why it changes everything.

🔥 Etiquette & Course Confusion
Where do you stand?
When do you hit?
Who goes first?
What's expected?

Golf etiquette can feel overwhelming at first, so we walk through the most common areas of confusion. We also share how Golf Party Live has created both an etiquette episode and a local etiquette clinic to give beginners confidence long before they reach the first tee.

🔥 Unrealistic Expectations
Many beginners believe they should be "good" by lesson four — and we explain why that mindset is not only unrealistic but harmful.
We answer real beginner questions such as:
"I get nervous playing with better golfers — what do I do?"
"How often should I practice?"

From a teaching standpoint, the goal isn't perfection… it's enough consistency to have fun.

That first pure shot — that sound — once you feel it, you'll chase it forever. That's the gift from the golf gods.

🔥 The Truth About the Learning Curve
Golf has a five-year learning curve to go from absolute beginner to confident intermediate player.

But once you're through it, the game becomes a lifetime of joy.

You will always keep learning — and that's the beauty of golf.

🔥 Final Takeaways & Heartfelt Moments
We end the episode with honest reflection, encouragement, and a deep appreciation for Melissa's journey. She is living proof that if you keep showing up, the game will always give back.

Thank you all for tuning in, for sharing this podcast with your golfing friends, and for being part of our Golf Party Live family.

If you're in your first year — hang in there. You're doing better than you think.
