Today we're coming to you live from the Women's Golf Celebration at Greenfield Lakes Golf Course!

This was our third annual celebration of women in golf, and what an incredible day it was. Greenfield Lakes is under new ownership and has undergone some exciting improvements, including a refreshed clubhouse, upgraded practice facilities, brand-new golf carts, and fantastic course conditions. The staff went above and beyond to help make this event a success.

Women's golf continues to grow at an incredible pace. Nearly 60% of new golfers are women, and women now make up approximately 40% of all golfers nationwide. We love seeing these numbers because they show that golf is becoming more welcoming, more inclusive, and more social than ever before.

This event was all about celebrating women in the game—whether it was someone's very first round of golf or they've been playing for years. Throughout this special live episode, we talk with ladies as they come off the course, hear about their experiences, and chat with some of the staff and volunteers who helped make the day possible.

The energy was amazing. We welcomed 114 women to the event, creating an atmosphere filled with encouragement, laughter, new friendships, and unforgettable memories.

One of our favorite things about events like this is watching women of all experience levels come together, support one another, and discover that golf truly is for everyone. Whether someone played their first round today or has been golfing for decades, the takeaway is always the same:

Golf is about so much more than the score.

It's confidence. It's friendships. It's community. It's memories. And it's having the courage to step outside your comfort zone and try something new.

A special thank you to our incredible VIP volunteers who arrived early to greet new players, help everyone feel welcome, and make the day run smoothly. You are a huge part of what makes the Golf Party Live community so special.

Thank you to all of the women who participated, our sponsors and partners, Greenfield Lakes Golf Course, and everyone who continues to support Golf Party Live.

Our mission is simple: to grow the game of golf in a fun, welcoming, beginner-friendly environment.

Until next time, keep having fun, keep learning, and keep showing up for yourself both on and off the golf course. Go Low!

We're really excited to bring you this episode—because it's one that so many golfers need to hear.

If you've ever wondered, "Can I still play golf if I have injuries, limitations, or past surgeries?" — the answer is YES. You absolutely can.

In this episode, Boo and Donna dive into real-life experiences with injuries they've both worked through (and sometimes still manage), and how you can continue to enjoy the game safely and confidently.

We cover:

Playing golf with injuries and physical limitations
Smart injury prevention (back, body, and overall movement)
The importance of strength and stability in your golf game
Common grip, hand, and forearm issues (including the "death grip" 👀)
Coaching insights to help reduce strain and stay efficient
What to do if someone yells "FORE!" (and why it matters more than you think)
When NOT to hit — one of the biggest beginner mistakes
Why safety always comes before pace of play
Essential golf cart safety reminders (yes… we had to go there again 😅)
This episode is all about helping you stay in the game, play smart, and protect your body so you can enjoy golf for the long haul.

👉 Whether you're dealing with something now or just want to prevent future issues, this one is packed with practical, real-world advice.

Stay safe. Have fun. Keep playing. 💛⛳️

Today's episode is a really personal one — and a very special Father's Day week episode.

This episode is dedicated to the person who has had more influence on my life and golf career than anyone else… my dad, "The Lipper."

If you're part of the Golf Party Live community, you already know him and love him. He has now been on the show 12 times and has become one of the favorite personalities in our community. He absolutely loves being on the mic, and today's episode gives a deeper look into our relationship, our golf life, and the journey we've shared together.

In this episode, we talk about:
⛳️ A current life update and his health status
⛳️ What it was like growing up as a golf pro's daughter
⛳️ Being born into the game of golf
⛳️ Fun stories from junior golf and golf life
⛳️ Time spent together through golf over the years
⛳️ Life outside of golf and who "The Lipper" really is
⛳️ My experience playing at the University of Arizona
⛳️ The moment I stepped away from competitive golf — and his response
⛳️ Our adult relationship today
⛳️ Father's Day traditions and memories
⛳️ Present-day life, laughter, and reflections

This episode is heartfelt, funny, nostalgic, and full of appreciation for the role fathers can play in shaping our lives — both on and off the golf course.

Whether you grew up playing golf with your dad, have someone who mentored you through sports, or just love hearing personal stories from the Golf Party Live world, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

🎧 Happy Father's Day from Golf Party Live

In this episode, Donna Taylor and Brittney Boo tackle one of the biggest myths in golf — the idea that the ball is supposed to go straight every single time.

Right out of the gate, we set the tone and break the truth wide open: the golf ball is not meant to go perfectly straight. Not for beginners. Not for experienced players. Not even for professionals. Golf is a game of patterns, not perfection.

This episode is especially powerful for beginner and intermediate golfers who feel frustrated when their shots curve, miss left, or miss right. Donna explains why ball flight curvature is completely normal and how understanding it can instantly reduce pressure, improve confidence, and lead to smarter course management.

We begin by resetting expectations and helping listeners understand what realistic ball flight actually looks like. From there, we break down the basics of ball flight in a simple, approachable way so golfers can stop fearing curves and start learning from them.

In This Episode, We Discuss:
*The myth that golf shots should always go straight
*Why even professional golfers play with consistent shot patterns
*Setting realistic expectations for beginners and improving players
*Ball flight basics: straight shots, fades, draws, slices, hooks, pushes, and pulls
*Why curves on the ball are normal — and not always a bad thing
*Which ball flights need correction vs. which ones you can play confidently
*"Playing for your miss" and how smart golfers manage patterns
*The emotional side of golf when shots don't go as planned
*How frustration often comes from unrealistic expectations
*Key lesson nuggets to help you feel more confident on the course

Donna shares coaching insights from working with beginner lady golfers and high school players, emphasizing that good golf is not about hitting it perfectly — it's about understanding your tendencies and managing them with confidence.

If you've ever felt discouraged because your ball doesn't go straight, this episode will be a mindset shift. You'll walk away feeling relieved, empowered, and more in control of your game.

At Golf Party Live, we believe confidence grows when expectations are realistic — and this episode is your reminder that curved shots are part of the journey, not a flaw in your game.

Our 4th annual Coronado Golf Retreat was one for the books — and this episode takes you behind the scenes of one of the most meaningful Golf Party Live experiences we've ever created.

This year's retreat had a completely different vibe because everyone stayed together under one roof at our beach house. The connection, laughter, vulnerability, friendships, and community became the true heartbeat of the trip.

Because Golf Party Live retreats are about so much more than golf.

These retreats are about women putting themselves out there, building confidence, trying new things, making memories, and forming friendships that continue long after the final putt drops.

Joining us for this recap episode is retreat attendee Heather Bower, who shares her perspective and experience from the week. Heather is a newer golfer and a wonderful example of the supportive and welcoming environment that makes these retreats so special.

In this episode, we recap the entire retreat experience:

This is an episode we've been wanting to do for a long time—because we see this all the time in lessons and on the range.

If you feel stuck, inconsistent, or overwhelmed in your golf game… this one might hit home.

We're breaking down the two biggest hidden enemies that sabotage your progress—and honestly, they might surprise you.

🚫 Enemy #1: Spouses & Significant Others Coaching

We get into why this is such a common (and tricky) issue in golf:

Why well-intentioned coaching often backfires
What actually happens to the golfer receiving that advice
The impact it can have on both your game and your relationship
💡 And don't worry—we also share how spouses and partners can help in a way that's actually supportive and productive.



📱 Enemy #2: Social Media & YouTube Instruction

This one is HUGE.

While it seems helpful, it's often one of the biggest reasons golfers struggle.

We break down the three major problems:

You don't know the source
It's completely out of sequence
It doesn't know YOU—your swing, your tendencies, or what you're working on
The result?

Too many swing thoughts
No consistency
Zero clarity


✅ What To Do Instead

We walk you through a better approach:

Pick a trusted coach or system
Focus on simple, foundational fundamentals
Understand that improvement happens in stages
Golf is hard enough—you don't need:
❌ 10 voices
❌ 10 swing thoughts
❌ 10 different opinions

You need:
✔️ Clarity
✔️ Simplicity
✔️ Trust in your process



If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend—especially one who might need to hear it 😉

Thanks for listening to Golf Party Live.
As always… have fun out there and go low 💛⛳️

📝 Episode Description

Today's episode is a special one.

I'm recording this right after finishing my Club Championship — and it got me thinking… not about swing mechanics or perfect shots, but about what actually matters when the pressure is real.

Because here's the truth:

Golf is not played the same on the range as it is on the course — and it's definitely not played the same under pressure.

So today, we're diving into the things that matter more than I ever realized — the elements that truly show up when it counts.


⛳ What We Cover

*Why it's not your swing — it's your tempo
*Tempo as the foundation of consistency
*Finishing your swing as a true sign of commitment
*What your reactions under stress reveal about your game
*Why commitment to the shot is a game changer
*The role of confidence and mindset in every round
💡 Key Takeaway

It's not about having the prettiest swing.

It's not about being perfect.

And it's definitely not about never feeling nervous.

It's about your tempo, your commitment, your mindset — and how you respond when pressure shows up.



💬 Final Thoughts

The swing you bring to the course is only part of the story.

The mindset you bring is what carries you through the round.


Thank you for tuning in. I'm so grateful for this game, this community, and for all of you who continue to show up, learn, and grow through golf.

This is such a fun and meaningful episode.

We're taking you inside two incredible events—one where Donna got to simply show up and play in player mode, and one where she stepped into host mode, bringing together an unforgettable experience for 88 amazing women from all over the country.

We're joined by two incredible guests:

Katie — who played in both events and took on a massive role behind the scenes, preparing and serving dinner for 88 women at kickoff night and breakfast for 35 ladies after yoga. Her level of execution, care, and energy is truly next level.
Reannon — newer to the game, a Seville local, and such a warm, fun presence on and off the course. She shares her experience from a newer golfer's perspective, which so many of you will relate to.
