Love on the Fairway: Our Golf Party Live Singles Recap + What's Next

Something brand new has been lighting people up — and today's episode dives straight into it.

In this episode, we recap our Golf Party Live Singles Mixer, talk about why it worked so well, and share what's coming next for this rapidly growing part of the Golf Party Live community.

This topic is deeply personal to Donna. She's a connector by nature — she met her husband through golf, and she even played matchmaker for her dad and stepmom, who have now been married for 29 years. So when she hears singles say they're exhausted, frustrated, and craving a better way to meet someone, she truly gets it. Helping people connect through golf is something she's incredibly passionate about.

We're joined by Annie Safa, who was on the front lines helping run the entire singles mixer. Annie assisted with logistics, check-in flow, and overall event execution — and she brings great energy and behind-the-scenes insight to this conversation. Annie is also Golf Party Live's social media manager and a close friend of Donna's, which makes the discussion both fun and honest.

Together, we recap:
*What actually happened at the singles mixer
*Annie's first impressions as people started arriving
*Whether the mixer felt awkward (spoiler: it didn't)
*The exact moment Annie realized this event was going to be a major success

We then dig into why the demand for meeting singles through golf is so high right now. Singles are tired. Online dating feels exhausting, transactional, and disconnected — and we hear this over and over again:

"I want to meet someone naturally."
"I want to meet a quality person."
"I want to meet someone who actually has a life."

Golf creates a completely different environment.

We talk about why golf attracts quality people and why meeting someone on the course gives you real insight into who they are. Golf shows you:
*How someone handles pressure
*How they respond to a bad shot
*How they treat staff and other players
*Whether they're honest, respectful, encouraging, or negative

Golf has a way of revealing someone's true character — and that's why it works so well as a way to connect.

We also explain why this mixer isn't awkward, how it's intentionally designed, and why it feels comfortable and organic for both beginners and experienced golfers.

Donna then shares her personal story of meeting her husband through golf, her natural role as a matchmaker and connector, and why this new singles chapter feels so aligned with her purpose.

Finally, we wrap up by sharing what's coming next, including:
*Upcoming singles mixers
*An exclusive Golf Party Live Singles Play Date
*And exciting new experiences we're currently building
