Have you ever stood in the fairway holding three different clubs… panicking… because you have no clue what to hit?

Or wondered…

"Am I supposed to hit my 7 iron 100 yards? 150 yards?? … WHAT EVEN IS NORMAL??"

Then this episode is for you.

Because one of the biggest confidence builders in golf is understanding yardages — and once you do, your entire game becomes calmer, smarter, and way more fun.

And if you've ever heard someone say "front, center, back" and thought it sounded like a seating chart… 😂 you are definitely in the right place.

In This Episode, We Break Down:

✅ What "yardage" actually means

We start from the very beginning so it finally makes sense:

*What yardage is measuring
*The difference between carry yardage vs total yardage
*Why some shots fly farther (or shorter) than you expect

✅ The 3 yardages every golfer needs to know

Most greens give you three numbers:

Front
Center
Back

And here's the golden rule:
⭐ Play to the CENTER unless you have a very good reason not to.
(Seriously — center yardage is your best friend.)

How to Figure Out Your Yardages (Even as a Beginner)

Yardages aren't something you magically "know" — you learn them as you grow.

We share a simple way to start:
*Go to the range and hit 10 balls with each club
*Toss the bad swings
*Average the solid shots
*Write it down

Important reminder:
⚠️ The range lies.
Range balls are often harder, heavier, and less responsive, meaning
your range yardages may be shorter than your on-course yardages

And we also talk about why your yardages change week to week based on:
*wind
*temperature
*ball contact
*your body & mindset
*confidence level
(and yes… that's a real thing!)

If you're a newer golfer playing often, you'll need to revisit your yardages regularly — because you're improving quickly.

Tools for Finding Yardages

We cover the most common options and what we recommend:
*Rangefinders
*GPS apps
*Cart GPS systems

We talk about what we like best, what feels easiest for beginners, and what gives the most confidence on the course.

External Factors That Change Yardage - because golf isn't played in a vacuum — we break down:
*wind (headwind vs tailwind)
*uphill and downhill shots
temperature changes
*slopes and uneven lies
…and why these things matter more than you think.

Real-Life Yardage Decision Making

We walk through what it looks like in real time:
*how to pace yardages like a pro
*how to make smarter club selections
*how to stop second-guessing yourself

And Brittney Boo shares what she's learned about yardages in her own beginner journey — the wins, the mistakes, and what actually helped her.

In this episode of Golf Party Live, we tackle something every golfer—especially beginners—must learn: how to handle adverse lies with confidence.

Let's be real—golf is not played off perfect grass. Your ball will end up in divots, hardpan, desert lies, and awkward slopes that can make you want to cry. But here's the truth: golf is recovery, golf is resilience, and golf is problem-solving. Once you understand how to approach these situations, your game becomes calmer, more confident, and honestly… a lot more fun.

In this episode, we break down:

What an adverse lie actually is
How to handle:
Divots in the fairway
Hardpan lies
Desert lies (buried, sitting down, or tricky footing)
Extreme and awkward lies

The four types of slope lies and how to play each:
Uphill lie
Downhill lie
Ball above your feet
Ball below your feet

Why it's okay to bump the ball when the rules allow—and what "playing it down" really means
Smart strategies to keep the ball in play and your confidence intact

This episode is all about learning how to adapt, make good decisions, and stop letting tough lies derail your round. When you know what to do, those scary situations turn into opportunities to build skill and trust in your game.

Thank you for tuning in to Golf Party Live.
