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

📝 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.


⛳️ Member Guest — Player Mode

We kick things off with the Seville Member Guest (aka the legendary La Con).

A three-day event filled with golf, socializing, and unforgettable moments
Golf Party Live had a strong presence with 10 players in the field
