Ask a lady golfer what her perfect day is, and she’ll likely reply with something like this: sleeping a little late in a luxuriously soft goosedown featherbed, followed by a large, leisurely breakfast that she doesn’t have to clean up after, followed by a tee time in low-humidity, 72 degree weather, then a fabulous spa appointment with a ridiculously handsome massage therapist named Sven, and last but not least a romantic dinner in a charming, historied restaurant. All at a largely discounted price.

Well, ladies, I’ve had the perfect day.

Where? How? You ask. Just yesterday, actually. Pinehurst Resort is hosting Women’s Golf Week June 4-10, and since I’m lucky enough to live just an hour away, I decided to make a weekend of it.

Kick-off activities started on Sunday. While Michelle Wie struggled to make history at the US Open qualifiers, I took part in a free golf clinic with Pinehurst professionals Kelly McCall and Paul McRae, then enjoyed a nine-hole playing lesson on Number 8 with instructor Kyle Kirk. A playing lesson normally costs anywhere from $200 to $300. Guess how much it cost at Pinehurst on Sunday—$25.

And that’s just the beginning.

In cooperation with Play Golf America and the Executive Women's Golf Association, Pinehurst is offering a whole week of programming. Tomorrow, $75 will buy you an all-day golf school, including lunch, rental clubs, and on-course instruction. To top it off, if you want to stick around for a few days, Women’s Golf Week participants can get a room at the steeply discounted rate of $125 a night.

Now if they’d only throw in a free massage. With Sven.
