Your First Year of Golf: How to Survive It, Love It & Keep Showing Up — Part 2 with Melissa Jackson
Tuesday, 20 January, 2026
If you've ever felt like everyone on the golf course got a dictionary except you, this episode is for you. Donna Taylor and Brittney Boo are diving into one of their favorite things to teach — and one of the things beginners are most embarrassed to ask about: golf language. Golf has its own vocabulary, and no one ever really explains it. This episode is your judgment-free, beginner-friendly guide to the words you hear on the course — and what they actually mean. 💡 What Inspired This Episode This episode was inspired by one of Donna's students during a putting class. The student asked what the word "span" meant and looked at Donna like she was speaking a different language. That was the lightbulb moment: We assume people know these words — but no one is teaching them. So today… welcome to Golf Lingo 101. ⛳ In This Episode, We Cover: Core Golf Course Terms *Tee box *Fairway *Rough *Green *Fringe *Pin / Flagstick *Break *Line Scoring Terms (Made Simple) *Par *Bogey *Double bogey *Triple bogey *Birdie *Eagle *Gross score *Net score *A beginner-friendly explanation of what a handicap is Swing & Contact Terms *Address *Loft *Clubface *Fat / Chunk *Thin / Skull / Skinny *Toe / Heel *Shank *Sweet spot *Tempo vs. rhythm Putting Terms *Span *Mark *Lag Putt *Pace *Break *Inside the leather Tournament & Social Golf Terms *Scramble *Best ball *Shotgun start 💬 Final Thoughts We want every beginner listening to hear this loud and clear: 👉 You are not supposed to know this language yet. Golf vocabulary is huge. It's weird. And it's full of traditions that no one ever explains. Give yourself grace, ask questions, and keep learning. If there are words you still hear on the course and don't understand, send them to us — we'll happily make a Part Two. Thank you for tuning in, thank you for sharing Golf Party Live, and thank you for showing up for your golf journey.
