Hi! Welcome to The Golf Tea! I am SO glad you’re here!
Pull up a chair, grab whatever you’re drinking, and stay a while, because this is the unhinged, bestie-coded newsletter I genuinely wish existed when I first started figuring out golf.
I built this so you never have to feel alone out there.
That’s me!
What is The Golf Tea, exactly?
It’s your weekly dose of everything golf…minus the boring parts. No dry instruction manuals. No content written for men who’ve been playing since they were five. Just real, relatable, occasionally chaotic coverage of the game and the life that comes with it.
Every Wednesday I pull 2–3 sections from the lineup below and land in your inbox. Think of it like a group chat you actually want to take part in with a reason to hit reply every single week.
“Finally golf info that doesn’t make me feel dumb for not knowing everything already. I’ve definitely felt more confident on the course and anytime someone is talking about golf, I honestly feel like I can contribute. The Golf Tea did that!” — M.Stuart
Why The Golf Tea exists
Golf has always been where real relationships get built, networks grow, and opportunities show up. For a really long time women just weren’t handed the playbook for any of it. Nope. Nada. We were left out completely.
Not the culture, not the unwritten rules, not how to show up to your first round without having a quiet panic attack in the parking lot. The Golf Tea is YOUR playbook. Free. Weekly. Written like a real person who genuinely wants you on that course.
🏆 The Trivia + Merch Thing
Every issue has a golf trivia question. You reply with your answer. At the end of the month, one correct answer gets randomly selected and wins Golf Tea merch. Free to play. Just hit reply. It’s that easy.
What’s in the mix:
🧠 Mind Over Mulligan The mental game. The self-talk. The spiral that happens on the first tee when everyone’s watching. We get into it — and we get through it together.
🫶 Par for the Chaos The social survival guide nobody gave you. Business outings, being the only woman in the foursome, couples golf where you’re trying not to become a statistic. Real situations, real talk.
👜 Haul of Fame Gear, style, the finds worth your money, and the women-owned brands you need to know about. No gatekeeping here.
✈️ Have Clubs, Will Travel Bucket-list courses, golf resorts, girls trips built around tee times, and sim season survival. Because golf is also a really good excuse to go somewhere beautiful.
💼 Business in the Front, Party on the Back Nine Golf as the ultimate business tool — and yes, it’s finally ours too. Deals, networking, how to host, how to show up, how to work a room from the first tee to the 19th hole.
🔥 Hot off the Cart The culture. The personalities. The takeover happening in women’s golf right now. The drama. The moments worth talking about.
💬 Holla Back Reader replies, hot takes, confessions, polls — and your weekly trivia question. Hit reply. Win merch. That’s the whole game.
This newsletter is for you if:
You play golf and want a newsletter that actually speaks your language.
You want to be in when it comes to the latest gear, chit chat and drama…without the mansplaining.
You’re just getting started and need someone to break it down without making you feel behind.
You keep getting invited to golf outings and keep saying no because it feels like too much — and you’re finally ready to change that.
You want to use golf to grow your network but have no idea where to start. Or honestly you just want to feel like you belong out there. Because you do.
A little about me
Hi, I’m Delaina — founder of 1930Fore, a women’s golf network based in Orlando built around the idea that golf is better when women are in the room.
I created The Golf Tea because I kept having the same conversation over and over with women who were curious about golf, intimidated by golf, or getting left out of opportunities because they didn’t play. The newsletter is my way of making sure that stops happening…one edition at a time.
When I’m not writing or building 1930Fore I’m running a restaurant tech company called Roasted Data, or I’m probably avoiding all responsibility and I’m on a golf course in Orlando, or doing approximately seventeen other things at once. Classic.
Where else to find me and what’s next:
The Golf Tea is the first stop.
The Clubhouse, 1930Fore’s paid community for women who are actually playing and wanting to connect with other women golfers all over the United States is the next one.
Think of the newsletter as the group chat and The Clubhouse as the place where we actually tee it up together.
Join the women who show up every week, get the tea, and get on the course. ⛳☕
