Today's episode was inspired by a social media post from a woman who shared that she feels like she's actually gotten worse at golf since she started playing with her boyfriend. After reading her story, we realized this is a much bigger conversation than just golf instruction.
Golf has a unique way of bringing out the very best in people—and sometimes the absolute worst. If you've ever had a cart argument, a tense round, or a silent ride home after golf, this episode is for you.
In this episode, we discuss:
• The social media post that sparked today's conversation—and why it was so eye-opening
• Our own personal golf relationship stories
• Why golf exposes communication styles, patience, expectations, and emotions
• How playing partners can impact confidence and performance
• Why many women struggle more under pressure and scrutiny
• Golf etiquette mistakes that can create tension on the course
• The difference between helping and coaching
• How to become a great golf partner who makes the game more enjoyable
Whether you play golf with a spouse, significant other, friend, or family member, this episode will help you create a better experience both on and off the course.
We want to hear from you! Have you ever had a bad playing partner, a golf relationship disaster, a hilarious cart fight, or an amazing partner who makes golf more fun? Send us your stories—we may share them in a future episode.
If you enjoyed today's episode, please share Golf Party Live with a friend and leave us a review. It helps us continue growing the game and building our amazing golf community.
We'll see you next time at the 19th Hole.
Until then, have fun with your significant other, communicate well, avoid the chaos, and...
GO LOW!
