Can Golf Hurt a Relationship?

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.
