Men vs Women Golf Swings (Are They Actually Different?)

·31 min·2 clips

Natalie says women and men share one golf swing, but tendencies show up in grip, posture, and setup.

Natalie starts by giving Mike a quick version of her golf background. She says she grew up in Connecticut, played a lot of sports, and badly wanted to be good at hockey even though skating never really clicked. Golf was the one that stuck. She talks about spending long days beating balls and not taking many lessons until she was about 12 or 13. A supportive local pro made a real difference, especially since junior golf was not widely encouraged everywhere at the time. He helped kids get on the course and learn etiquette. The conversation shifts into teaching. Natalie says she wants players to learn how to solve golf problems, not just repeat the same motion from the same spot. Her college coach played a big role in that. One drill she remembers is being put behind a tree and told to figure out how to get the ball on the green with a bucket of balls. That leads into a bigger point: real players need creativity when the ball is not sitting perfectly. The two of them also talk about practice structure. Natalie likes adding variability, because block practice alone does not always transfer to the course. She says random practice helps golfers learn how to play golf and manage a score. They touch on junior competition too. She says she has mixed girls and boys in some settings, and at Pelican she worked in a large junior program under Susie where competitive kids of different ages trained together. The episode closes on coaching logistics and a lighter side. Natalie says she teaches non-members, points people to nattygolf.com, and jokes about helping with fashion content while noting that growing a female audience has led to more brand questions. She stays focused on supporting other brands and staying in her lane.
