If today sounds a little different… that's because it is.

We've officially moved into our brand new studio space, Taylor's 19th Hole. We're literally sitting at a poker table with our custom neon sign glowing behind us, overlooking the 3rd fairway at Seville Golf & Country Club. It is the perfect scenery and vibe for this show — fun, community-driven, and rooted in honesty, integrity, and treating people with respect. This room finally feels like home, so of course we had to kick things off with a topic that every lady golfer can relate to: the man who got you into golf.

In this episode, we're talking about how men influence women getting into golf — sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident:

In this episode we cover:

🎯 Why men are often the "gatekeepers" of golf
How access, invitations, and equipment usually start with the guys… and why that's slowly starting to change.
💕 The Supportive Boyfriend/Husband
The hype man who buys the clubs, books the tee time, and genuinely wants you out there with him (even if he secretly regrets it when you get better).
🛠️ "Let Me Fix Your Swing" Guy
The well-meaning coach-in-disguise who can unintentionally frustrate, overwhelm, or completely turn a woman off from the game… and how to handle that dynamic in a healthy way.
👨‍👧 Dads, Grandpas & Brothers
The daddy's girls, the grandpas who put a tiny club in your hand, the brothers who dragged you to the range — the family stories that started it all.
💔➡️⛳ "I Joined Golf to Meet a Guy… or Get Away From One"
The women who picked up golf to connect with someone… and the women who picked it up to reclaim their time, sanity, and social life.
💚 Why Women Stay in Golf
Spoiler: it usually stops being about the man and starts being about confidence, community, and feeling strong. We share stories from the Golf Party Live community that highlight exactly that.
🧠 Donna's Instructor Tips
Practical advice for ladies learning from a partner or male family member, including:
How to set boundaries with "fix your swing" feedback
When to bring in a neutral third party (hello, golf instructor)
How to keep golf fun, light, and yours
We want to hear YOUR story!

Ladies, we know almost every woman has a "man story" behind how she started golf.

👉 Tell us about it:
Who got you into golf?
What was the moment?
What was the madness?
Send us your story at golfpartylive@gmail.com with the subject line "Who Got Me Into Golf" – we may share it (with your permission) in a future episode or on social!

Sometimes your swing isn't the problem… your aim is.

In this episode, Donna and Brittney Boo unpack one of the most overlooked fundamentals in golf: alignment. It's simple, it's powerful, and it might be the missing piece to your game.

Brittney brings a fresh perspective as she shares her own struggles with alignment—especially on the greens—making this episode extra relatable for golfers of all levels.

⛳ What You'll Learn
1. Why Alignment Matters
*Alignment is the foundation of your golf game.
*Even a perfect swing can't save you if you're aimed wrong.
*Learn how to recognize your personal misalignment tendencies.

2. Full Swing Alignment
*How to pick a very specific target.
*Using an intermediate target for better aim.
*Step-by-step: clubhead first, then body, then final glance & go.
*A drill to retrain your brain to "see" proper alignment.

3. Chipping Alignment
*Why an open stance is often best.
*How to square shoulders to your target line.
*Clubface control: square for low chips, slightly open for soft, high shots.

4. Putting Alignment
*The area where alignment matters most.
*Eyes over the ball, putter face first, feet parallel to target line.
*Practice drills: chalk line, string, and alignment sticks.

5. Mental Alignment
*Alignment isn't just physical—it's mental, too.
*Develop a routine that builds confidence and consistency on every shot.

🎯 The Takeaway
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear, step-by-step routine for every part of your game—full swing, chipping, and putting—so you can start hitting straighter shots and sinking more putts.

💚 Episode Overview
If you're new to the game or even within your first five years — this episode is for you!

Brittney Boo and Donna are joined by special guest Melissa Jackson, who's been playing golf for just two years and knows exactly what it feels like to be a frustrated beginner.

As Donna says, you're still a beginner for five whole years — that's the truth!

In this candid and laughter-filled conversation, the trio dives into the highs, lows, and aha moments that define your early golf journey.

🏌️‍♀️ Meet Our Guest
Melissa Jackson – A dedicated and determined golfer who almost walked away from the game after her first year. She told herself, "If I'm not better by next year, I'm out and I'll go play pickleball."

But she stuck with it — and now she's thriving! Melissa shares how she pushed past frustration, gained confidence, and found her rhythm on the course. She's living proof that the best golf often comes right after you almost quit.

💬 Episode Highlights
*The first-year rollercoaster: why the learning curve feels so steep and what to expect.
Melissa's breakthrough story — from overwhelmed to empowered.
*Common beginner struggles: inconsistency, distance control, topping, chunking, and yes… overthinking.
*Mindset matters: how to stay patient, laugh through the mishits, and celebrate the small wins.
*Golf club equivalences explained — we simplify what clubs do what and how to make better choices.
*The "five-year truth" — understanding that mastery takes time and that progress doesn't follow a straight line.

🧠 Key Takeaways
*Don't quit before it clicks — you're probably closer than you think.
*Everyone struggles with the same issues at first; it's part of the journey.
*The game will teach you patience, humility, and joy if you let it.
*Your mindset is your most powerful club in the bag.
*The first year is the hardest — but it's also the most transformative.
