Women It is a perfect time to start golfing!
I
didn’t start playing golf until my early 30’s when I finally couldn’t say ‘no’ to an industry golf function any longer. I was nervous. Golf seemed like some mysterious ‘thing’ to me that few women, especially my age, took part in. I got up to the first tee and, having never swung a club before, swung and missed the ball completely. Nothing in my previous sports experience with softball or volleyball gave me any help. I had no idea what I was doing when it came to swinging the club. While I played terrible golf that day, I became hooked. Between sun on my face, the casual networking, the challenge of this new sport where my only competition was really myself – I fell in love. I took some lessons; I kept playing and I got better at it. Golf is now my favorite pastime. I love to play, and I love to introduce other women to the game. And now is a perfect time for women to take up the game. Why you say? I’ll tell you.
