    2026/10/19
    The Woman Behind the Futures Tour: Eloise Trainor on Women's Golf History & Leadership The Traveling Golf Diva Podcast with Doris R. Muscarella How did one woman's vision help shape the future of women's professional golf, and how can simpler golf instruction help women enjoy the game for a lifetime? In this inspiring episode of The Traveling Golf Diva Podcast, host Doris R. Muscarella welcomes Eloise Trainor, co-founder of Education Golf, former CEO of the Futures Tour, and LPGA Lifetime Member, for an engaging conversation about women's golf history, professional opportunities, golf instruction, and growing the game for future generations. From launching a small women's golf mini tour in Florida to helping develop the Futures Tour into a national pathway for aspiring LPGA professionals, Eloise shares the determination, sacrifices, and leadership required to create opportunities for women in a traditionally male-dominated industry. From the Futures Tour to the Future of Women's Golf Eloise takes us behind the scenes of building the Futures Tour, sharing how a Florida mini tour with just 60 players in its first tournament grew into a national professional golf tour. Her vision went beyond organizing tournaments. She wanted to give aspiring women professionals the competitive experience, course-management skills, and confidence they needed to succeed at the LPGA level. Discover how she navigated financial challenges, advocated for fair treatment of women golfers, and helped create opportunities that would influence generations of professional players. Simplifying the Golf Swing: Building Confidence at Every Age What if improving your golf swing didn't have to be so complicated? Eloise believes that golf instruction should be understandable, practical, and accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. Through her work with Education Golf, she emphasizes the importance of strong fundamentals, consistent preparation, and a simplified approach to learning the golf swing. She also explains GCAP — Grip, Club, Alignment, and Posture, a practical approach designed to simplify pre-shot preparation, reduce overthinking, and help golfers develop a more consistent swing. Learn why spending less time standing over the golf ball, trusting your preparation, and focusing on the fundamentals can help you play with greater confidence, less tension, and more enjoyment. Whether you're a beginner, a recreational golfer, or a woman returning to golf later in life, Eloise offers valuable insights into making the game more approachable and rewarding. 🎙️ What You'll Discover in This Episode Women's Golf History: How the Futures Tour created competitive opportunities for aspiring LPGA professionals. Women in Golf Leadership: The determination, sacrifices, and business challenges behind building a professional women's golf tour. Golf Swing Fundamentals: How simplifying golf instruction can help golfers develop more consistent, confident swings. Golf Tips for Women Over 50: Why age doesn't have to prevent you from learning, improving, or enjoying golf. Beginner Golf Instruction: How proper grip, alignment, posture, and preparation can help new golfers build confidence. Golf Confidence & Mindset: Why overthinking your swing can create unnecessary hesitation and tension. Growing Women's Golf: How golf clubs and the industry can create more welcoming, inclusive experiences for women. Golf Technology & Innovation: How Education Golf is exploring real-time feedback to support golf swing development. Memorable Quotes from Eloise Trainor "Everyone gets to play." A reminder that golf should be accessible, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone. "The swing is simple. It is not complicated; it is not unnatural." A refreshing perspective for golfers overwhelmed by complicated swing instruction. "Take less time over the ball." Sometimes the best way to improve your golf game is to stop overthinking and trust your preparation. Why This Conversation Matters Women's golf has come a long way, but creating opportunities, increasing participation, and making the game more welcoming remain important priorities. Eloise Trainor's story reminds us that growing women's golf requires more than introducing women to the sport. It means giving them the tools, confidence, opportunities, and support to stay in the game. Her contributions to women's professional golf and her commitment to simplified golf education demonstrate how one woman's vision can influence generations of golfers. From breaking barriers in professional women's golf to helping everyday golfers feel more confident on the course, Eloise continues to demonstrate the power of leadership, perseverance, and a passion for growing the game.

  • Business Golf: How Women Can Turn the Course Into a Networking Advantage with Hilary Fordwich

    Business Golf: How Women Can Turn the Course Into a Networking Advantage with Hilary Fordwich
    2026/10/12
    What if one round of golf could tell you more about a potential business relationship than hours of traditional networking? In this powerful episode of The Traveling Golf Diva Podcast, host Doris R. Muscarella sits down with Hilary Fordwich—former head of global business development at KPMG, executive coach, keynote speaker, business development expert, and competitive golfer—to explore how women can use golf as a strategic networking and relationship-building advantage. Golf isn't simply a sport. In business, it can provide hours of uninterrupted time to build rapport, observe character, develop trust, and create authentic professional relationships. Hilary shares how golf helped her develop business opportunities throughout her career and why women don't need to be scratch golfers—or turn every round into a sales meeting—to benefit from the power of business golf. Business Golf Is About Relationships, Not the Sales Pitch One of Hilary's most important lessons is that business golf is about bonding—not closing the deal on the golf course. Instead of arriving with an agenda, focus on the people you're playing with. Listen. Pay attention. Be helpful. Ask questions. Learn about them. Those four hours together can create something a traditional networking mixer rarely provides: time to develop a genuine relationship. The business conversation may happen later. The relationship comes first. Why More Women Should Consider Business Golf For women who feel intimidated about playing golf with clients, executives, or more experienced golfers, Hilary offers practical advice: you don't have to be the best golfer in the group to belong in the conversation. Understanding basic golf etiquette, pace of play, course awareness, and how to interact with your playing partners can be more important in a business setting than your score. Golf provides women with an opportunity to spend meaningful time with business leaders, clients, colleagues, prospects, and decision-makers in an environment very different from the boardroom. The objective isn't perfection. It's confidence, connection, and relationship building. What Golf Can Reveal About Character and Leadership How does someone react after a bad shot? Do they pay attention when another player hits? Do they help look for a playing partner's golf ball? How do they treat the staff? Do they remain positive when the round isn't going their way? Golf can reveal qualities that aren't always visible during a meeting or polished business presentation. Hilary and Doris discuss how the course can provide insight into someone's leadership style, emotional intelligence, awareness, strategic thinking, resilience, integrity, and consideration for others. As Hilary says: “Golf is the great equalizer.” Your Most Important Shot Is the Next One Golf and business both require the ability to recover when things don't go according to plan. A poor golf shot doesn't have to ruin the next one—and a setback in business doesn't have to determine what happens next. Hilary's advice: “Don't be bitter, be better.” And: “The most important thing is your next shot.” It's a powerful lesson in resilience, leadership, confidence, and focusing on what you can control. 🎧 What You'll Discover in This Episode How golf can create business opportunities and professional relationshipsWhy business golf is different from competitive and social golfWhy you shouldn't try to close a business deal during the roundHow women can overcome intimidation when golfing with executives or clientsEssential business golf etiquette for building a positive impressionHow to start authentic conversations without forcing a sales pitchWhy listening and paying attention matter on and off the courseHow golf can reveal someone's character and leadership styleWhy relationship building should come before sellingHow to develop confidence in unfamiliar business environmentsWhy resilience is essential in both golf and businessHow to focus on what you can control after a setbackWhy golf can provide women with access to valuable professional networksHow the golf course can become a powerful environment for women's business networking Memorable Insights from Hilary Fordwich “Don't be bitter, be better.” “The most important thing is your next shot.” “Golf is the great equalizer.” “My whole approach is about being there for them.” Recommended Reading Hilary also shares books and leadership resources that have influenced her approach to relationships, trust, influence, and leadership: How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie — A classic resource for understanding relationships, communication, and influencing people. The Speed of Trust by Stephen M. R. Covey — A valuable look at the role trust plays in leadership, relationships, organizations, and business performance. Hilary also discusses a book about Queen Elizabeth I and leadership, referenced during the conversation as ...

  • Growing the Game: Teaching Children Golf, Confidence & Life Skills with LPGA Master Professional Nancy Stuart

    Growing the Game: Teaching Children Golf, Confidence & Life Skills with LPGA Master Professional Nancy Stuart
    2026/10/05
    Growing the Game: Teaching Children Golf, Confidence & Life Skills with LPGA Master Professional Nancy Stuart How do we teach children golf in a way that builds more than a better swing? In this inspiring episode of The Traveling Golf Diva Podcast, host Doris R. Muscarella sits down with LPGA Master Professional Nancy Stuart to explore how junior golf instruction can build confidence, discipline, resilience, friendships, and a lifelong love for the game. Nancy shares her journey from discovering golf at age 13 on a nine-hole par-3 course in Chicago to becoming an accomplished LPGA golf professional, educator, junior golf coach, First Tee Recognized Coach, and author. At the heart of Nancy's teaching philosophy is a simple but powerful message: “Make it fun.” Nancy explains why successful kids golf instruction isn't about forcing young golfers into a one-size-fits-all program. It's about understanding how each child learns, introducing skills at the right pace, creating achievable goals, and allowing children to experience the joy of improvement. Building Golf Skills—and Life Skills Nancy takes us inside her progressive eight-week junior golf program, where children develop their games step by step—from putting and chipping to pitching, the full golf swing, and on-course play. You'll hear why games, medals, friendly competition, and achievable goals can motivate young golfers without creating unnecessary pressure. Nancy and Doris also discuss an important question for parents: When is the right age for a child to start playing golf? Nancy's answer: when the child is ready—not simply when the parent is ready. Growing Girls Golf and Expanding Access This conversation goes beyond traditional junior golf. Nancy discusses the importance of girls golf programs, social connection, adaptive instruction for special-needs golfers, and programs serving veterans through golf. These programs demonstrate how golf can become a vehicle for confidence, inclusion, community, healing, and meaningful human connection. Nancy also shares lessons from her work with First Tee and how those experiences helped shape her approach to coaching and youth development. Helping Golfers Become Their Own Best Teacher Nancy's book, How to Learn Golf Your Way, reflects one of her most important teaching philosophies: “I want you to become your own best teacher.” Rather than simply telling students what to do, Nancy helps golfers understand their own movements, learning styles, and tendencies. She also shares her approach to putting instruction and explains how balance, movement, and fundamentals can carry from putting through chipping, pitching, and eventually the full golf swing. You'll even learn about D D C F C, an easy-to-remember teaching tool Nancy uses with young golfers to reinforce distance, direction, clubface control, and focus. AI, Technology & the Future of Golf Instruction Can artificial intelligence, golf apps, video analysis, and launch monitors help someone become a better golfer? Nancy believes technology can be a valuable tool in modern golf instruction—but it should support rather than replace the relationship between a golfer and a great coach. Golf remains deeply human. It's about learning together, playing together, building confidence, developing social skills, and creating relationships on and off the golf course. 🎧 What You'll Discover in This Episode How to introduce children to golf without creating pressureWhat makes an effective junior golf coachHow to determine when a child is ready to start playing golfWhy fun is essential to youth golf developmentHow putting, chipping, pitching, and full-swing skills can be taught progressivelyHow parents can encourage young golfers without forcing the gameWays to introduce competition without damaging confidenceWhy girls golf programs are important to growing women's golfHow adaptive and special-needs golf programs expand access to the gameThe role golf can play in veterans' healing, community, and connectionHow First Tee influenced Nancy's coaching philosophyHow technology and AI golf instruction are changing coachingWhy the human relationship between coach and golfer still mattersWhat helps children develop a lifelong love of golf Nancy Stuart on Teaching Golf “Make it fun.” “I want you to become your own best teacher.” “Golf has got them out on the golf course.” Growing the Next Generation of Golfers Whether you're a parent, junior golf coach, LPGA or PGA professional, golf instructor, youth sports leader, or someone passionate about growing the game of golf, this episode offers practical insights into developing the next generation of golfers. Because growing golf isn't simply about creating better swings.
