It's a chance to get away for a slice of time to enjoy nature, work on your golf skills, connect with friends, and so much more.As a longtime golfer and golf professional, I enjoy every one of these features of the game.

Many of us already have an understanding of how fun and powerful golf is as a relationship-building tool. However, it's not always easy for the right people to find one another.In recent years, social media platforms and other connection tools have created easy ways for us to connect with others...from Facebook to LinkedIn to Evite.  Each of these platforms was originally designed to help us create and deepen connections with like-minded individuals.  But what if you had access to a free app that made it super easy to meet and connect with golfers of similar playing level, geographic location, club membership and more? How much more valuable would that make your club membership? ClubSync is a game changing piece of technology for the golf community that does just that, and ClubSync co-founder Rodrigo Gomez is breaking it down during this episode!In this episode, we're going to learn about the technology that makes it easier for golfers as well as golf clubs, leagues, state associations, and other entities to create and facilitate connections to create winning opportunities for all parties.Get on the waitlist and be the FIRST to know when we reopen.  You'll get strategies, tools, and support from our friendly community to make your dreams of confidently playing fun, strategic golf anywhere with anyone come true.Links & Resources: Ready to learn how to practice in a way that's right for YOU?

Golf is the sport of business and networking for so many reasons, but for far too long, even many high-achieving business women weren't involved. Instead of using golf as a valuable tool to gain an edge in career and business like men routinely do, many women were stuck on the sidelines.  After picking up golf in October 2021, former Big 4 auditor turned social entrepreneur Stephanie D'Angelo decided to do her part to change things! She's on a mission to rebrand golf from a health and well-being activity to a critical development skill for corporate women.As the founder of HerClub, she is determined to design ways for motivated women to gain the edge they have been missing - through golf. Stephanie has an audacious golf to support 1,000 women - each year - gain competence and confidence on and off the green.To learn more about HerClub, feel free to reach out to Stephanie:Twitter, IG:  @joinherclubIG:  @stephanied120LinkedIn:  in/stephaniedangeloGet on the waitlist and be the FIRST to know when we reopen.  You'll get strategies, tools, and support from our friendly community to make your dreams of confidently playing fun, strategic golf anywhere with anyone come true.Links & Resources: Ready to learn how to practice in a way that's right for YOU?

Are you ready to go all-in on your golf game, but you feel like you won't be successful because you believe you've started too late in life? Are you worried that you can't improve much because you're not a 'natural athlete'? Are you thinking you'll never be able to score well because you don't hit the ball as far as others you've seen?In this episode, I talk about how limiting beliefs hold back so many aspiring golfers from digging in and embracing their desire to learn, improve and strive toward high level golf. This is particularly prevalent among women who are entering the game of golf at a more "seasoned" stage of life, despite often being creators of amazing successes in their careers, families and communities.Unfortunately, there are a plethora of myths or limiting beliefs that can hold us back from achieving our full potential in golf. In this episode, we'll talk about "The Big Three" that pop up most often.

Are you a new or early-stage golfer who’s been out hitting golf balls but find herself everywhere EXCEPT on the golf course because you’ve fallen prey to the limiting belief that the fairways are only for ‘good’ golfers?If this sounds like you, then keep watching because this episode is just for you! I’m going to empower and share with you three simple, specific, and stress-free ways that all golfers - particularly new and beginning golfers - can get out there feeling comfortable and confident on the golf course.Even as beginners, it’s important to get out onto the golf course because that’s really where we learn to play golf versus just hitting balls.  So in this episode, let’s dive into three surefire strategies to help you get on the course - even if you’re new to the game!1.  Short Courses: Executive & Par-3These types of courses can be found in lots of places (including more densely populated areas) and they’re great because they allow us golfers to fit in more frequent rounds of golf due to convenient locations and shorter length. 2.  DIY Course LengthSometimes, an executive or par-3 course is not available.   Instead of teeing up from the prescribed teeing areas for each hole, you create your own, that is do-it-yourself (DIY)! Simply select a distance to the hole that is challenging but not overwhelming, and make that your starting point for each hole.  3.  The Scramble FormatThanks to its versatility, the scramble format is suitable for golfers of all levels of skill and experience.  For this reason, it’s one of the most popular playing formats for corporate events, fundraiser outings, and tournaments.  But you don't have to wait for a special event to try it out!Get on the waitlist and be the FIRST to know when we reopen.  You'll get strategies, tools, and support from our friendly community to make your dreams of confidently playing fun, strategic golf anywhere with anyone come true.Links & Resources: Ready to learn how to practice in a way that's right for YOU?

So I'm here to help you do the same. I know it's possible because, after all, I went from beginner to LPGA professional in less than 36 months. So even if this isn't your type of goal, no big deal.
