Earlier this year I reached out to Sunday Golf to see if they might want to collaborate—because I’d been eyeing their Ryder golf bag for months. Not long after, I played my very first full 18-hole course in Myrtle Beach with my husband, father-in-law, and brother-in-law…and to my surprise, I actually enjoyed it!
In the past, golf always felt a little intimidating. Someone was forever correcting my grip or stance, which chipped away at my confidence and made it hard to relax. But this time was different. Maybe it’s age, maybe it’s finally listening to all those lessons from years ago, but the real difference was Josh. My husband made the game fun. He never corrected me unless I asked, cheered me on after every “mistake,” and kept reminding me, “It’s just a game—none of us are actually good at it!” That simple encouragement completely changed the experience for me.
Fast forward to today and I’m even more excited about playing thanks to my new Ryder bag from Sunday Golf. It’s lightweight, beautifully designed, and somehow makes me want to schedule tee times just so I can carry it. Our family trip to Myrtle Beach didn’t come together this year, but I’ll be ready for next season. In the meantime, Josh and I plan to explore some of the gorgeous courses closer to home—like the Hilton Head National Golf Course. I visited briefly before a wedding job and was blown away by how beautiful it was. Next time, I’ll leave the camera equipment at home!
Here’s to new gear, encouraging playing partners, and rediscovering a sport I never thought I’d love.
