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.
