Welcome to Golf Party Live — the podcast where lady golfers come to learn, laugh, and love the game!
I'm your host, Donna Taylor, a lifelong golf enthusiast, passionate golf instructor, and founder of Arizona's rapidly growing ladies' golf community, Golf Party Live. Together with my dynamic co-host, Brittney Boo — a newer golfer with a fresh perspective and loads of enthusiasm — we bring you a fun, upbeat show designed to help you feel confident and excited about getting into golf.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your skills, we are here to guide you with practical tips, helpful insights, and plenty of humor. From what to wear on the course to selecting the right equipment, mastering the pace of play, and navigating golf etiquette, we cover everything you need to know to enjoy the game.
At Golf Party Live, we believe golf should be as fun and social as it is challenging — and we are here to show you how to make the most of it. So grab your clubs, tune in, and join the party!
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear from beginners—and even really good athletes—is that if they work hard, take a few lessons and practice consistently, they'll become a great golfer pretty quickly.
And while hard work absolutely matters, golf doesn't work quite like other sports.
In fact, golf is one of the few sports where the longer you play, the more you realize how much you still have to learn.
Athleticism helps. Hard work matters. But neither one replaces experience.
Golf asks so much more of you than simply being athletic. You have to learn swing mechanics, course management, the mental game, emotional control, decision-making, distance control, different lies, changing weather conditions, rules, etiquette—and perhaps most importantly, patience.
Today's episode isn't about telling you golf is hard. It's about helping you understand why golf is different. Because once you understand that, you can stop comparing your progress to other sports and start appreciating the incredible journey that golf really is.
In this episode, we talk about:
● Golf has no finish line
● Golf is much more than a swing
● Athleticism helps, but it doesn't replace experience
● Your biggest opponent is YOU
● Golf rewards slowing down
● Failure is part of golf
● Golf is a game of character
● Every round is different
● Improvement isn't linear
● Golf teaches us about life
If you're new to golf—or maybe you've been playing for a while and find yourself getting frustrated—we hope today's episode helps change your perspective.
You're not behind. You're not failing. You're learning one of the most challenging and rewarding games ever created.
Give yourself permission to be a beginner. Celebrate the small victories. Keep showing up.
Because golf isn't about arriving—it's about growing. And the beautiful thing about this game is that there's always something new to learn.
And THAT is why golf is unlike any other sport.
Thanks for tuning in to the Golf Party Live Podcast.
Have fun and GO LOW! ⛳️🎉

Golf Excuses: We've Heard Them All!
Golf Excuses - we've all got them… and today we're calling them out!
Donna and Boo are joined by a very special guest, Julie Ann — Donna's childhood BFF — for an episode that had us laughing from start to finish.
We're not talking swing mechanics. We're not talking equipment or how to shave strokes off your game. We're talking about something every single golfer has: EXCUSES!
We're breaking down some of the funniest, most relatable, and most ridiculous golf excuses we've heard over the years — and we may even admit to a few of our own.
We get into:
Weather excuses — too hot, too cold, too windy… you know the drill
Equipment excuses — because obviously it was the club
Body excuses — the back, the knees, the shoulder, the hangover…
Course excuses — greens, bunkers, rough, bad lies and everything in between
Partner excuses — when someone else is clearly responsible for your bad golf
Mental excuses — because golf lives rent-free in our heads
And our Hall of Fame Golf Excuses — the ones that deserve their own trophy
If you've ever blamed a bad round on anything other than yourself, this episode is for you.
We had an absolute blast recording this one, and we hope you laugh right along with us!
Now it's your turn — what's YOUR go-to golf excuse? Listen to the episode and then come find us on social media at Golf Party Live and tell us the best excuse you've ever used or heard. We may just share our favorites!
And help us keep growing the Golf Party Live community: follow or subscribe to the podcast, leave us a rating or review, and send this episode to that golfing friend who ALWAYS has an excuse ready. You know exactly who they are!
Tune in wherever you listen to podcasts — and let's keep making golf more fun together!

Ready to Play: Your Guide to Golf Leagues & Getting on the Course
Today we're joined by special guest Deb McAvay, President of the Seville Ladies Golf Club, who brings a wealth of knowledge about women's golf leagues, country club golf, member events, and helping women get involved in the game.
But this episode isn't just about joining a golf league. It's about something much bigger:
How do you go from taking golf lessons to actually becoming a golfer?
It's something Donna tells her students all the time: You can't become a golfer by living on the driving range. The range teaches you how to hit golf shots. The golf course teaches you how to play golf—and those are two completely different skills.
In this episode, we're talking about how to take that next step and actually get out there and PLAY.
In This Episode:
⛳ Why getting on the golf course is essential to becoming a golfer
⛳ How to know when you're ready to start playing
⛳ Why Donna created Golf Party Live Ladies Play
⛳ The benefits of joining a women's golf league
⛳ 9-hole vs. 18-hole leagues
⛳ What to expect when joining a country club golf league
⛳ Spark Golf and other ways to find opportunities to play
⛳ Invitations, member events and getting involved at your club
⛳ Deb's insight on women's golf and helping newer golfers feel welcome
⛳ Building confidence, friendships and experience through actually playing the game
You don't have to be a great golfer before you get on the course. Playing the game is how you become a golfer.
If you've been taking lessons, practicing on the range and wondering, "Am I ready?"—this episode is for you.
It's time to get off the range and onto the course!
