    Golf Traditions: The Classics, The Quirky & The Ones We Create

    Welcome back to the Golf Party Live Podcast — podcasting once again from Taylor's 19th Hole, our new home studio overlooking the 3rd fairway at Seville Golf & Country Club. This room feels like home, and we are thrilled to kick off this season of traditions by talking about something golf does better than almost any sport: keeping meaningful, quirky, emotional traditions alive. With the holidays around the corner, family routines forming, and golf weather at its finest, today's episode is all about the traditions that connect us — from the vintage, passed-down classics to the funny rituals we make up along the way. In This Episode We Dive Into: 🎄 Why Golf Is a Tradition-Heavy Sport How the game's history, etiquette, and generational nature create rituals that stick with us for life. 🏆 Classic Golf Traditions We All Know *The Masters: the jacket, the par-3 contest, the pimento cheese sandwiches. *Wardrobe & style traditions: polos, stripes, argyle, Sunday red *Tee box rituals: honors, playing order, first-tee nerves *Golf superstitions: lucky markers, routines, the "don't switch a winning ball" rule 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family & Holiday Golf Traditions Stories about holiday tee times, Christmas-morning rounds, daddy-daughter traditions, annual family scrambles, and the memories that only happen on the course this time of year. 💚 Traditions Women Are Creating in Golf Today From ladies' play dates to beginner-friendly rituals, community outings, holiday themes, golf-and-mimosas mornings, and the new wave of traditions built by women who are making the sport their own. ⛳️ Fun & Lighthearted Traditions The silly things we all do — signature poses, celebratory birdie dances, pre-round playlists, group photos on every tee box, and the things that make golf feel like friendship and joy. Closing Notes As we wrap up, we hope your holiday season is filled with family, warmth, and maybe even a sneaky round or two. Thank you for making Golf Party Live part of your weekly traditions — it means more than you know. Have fun and go low.

    Boyfriends, Dads & Birdies: How Men Help (and Hinder) Women Getting Into Golf

    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! Thank you for listening! Thank you for tuning in, sharing the podcast with your golf girlfriends, and tagging us on social. Golf Party Live is a completely free resource for beginner lady golfers, and your shares, reviews, and word-of-mouth help us reach more women who are just getting started. Have fun and go low. ⛳️💚
