We believe that golf is more than a sport. It's a lifestyle, a unique mental and physical challenge, and a long-term commitment to bettering yourself. And it's rife with some of life's best lessons: patience, persistence, thoughtfulness, and practice-things women excel at.
There's a moment during your backswing that evokes such high concentration, it feels almost like meditation. You follow through with your stroke, you hear that pop that means you've made contact and you stand poised, in elation, to watch it fly. It's powerful. But beyond that, golf invites you to get together with a few of your best friends and go outside to play... just like your mother always told you to when you were a girl.
11 Good Reasons For Women To Play Golf
1. Argyle. Any sport that embraces the Scottish diamonds and diagonals of yore is ok by us. And while we're at it: pink sweater vests, plaid, and the fact that you can play your full 18 holes from tee to tally in a skirt.
2. Electric Cars. Sure, they're environmentally sound, but that says nothing of the fun to be had. Forward. Reverse. Sideways on a grassy knoll. All of this while sipping your 'teeni'.
3. It's not all in the wrist. It's more than that. It's your stance, posture, balance, alignment, back-swing and follow-through, too. Get it all down right and you're a heck of a swinger.
4. You can afford your own driver. Plus the rest of your woods. Your irons. Your hybrids. Your putters.
5. You get to trample someone else's lawn. And that pristinely-manicured, massive lawn is attended to by a bunch of people who actually have degrees in Turfgrass Management.
6. The Caddie. Here's a person whose sole purpose for the day is to follow you around carrying your things and attending to your needs. It's sort of regal, really.
7. Saddle Shoes. With spikes! Shoes tailored specifically for women in all kinds of cute styles and a don't-mess-with-me sole.
8. An excuse to take a walk with three friends. The last time most of us communicated with three friends at once, it was because we cc'd a few people on an email forward. Remember what it's like to hear three people laugh at your jokes, rather than write LOL?
9. Size matters. And this is when it counts. Larger clubhead volume and face size has actually revolutionized the sport. Longer drives across the board.
10. High-scoring loser. Even when you lose and choke on the back nine, you can go home knowing you were the high-scorer of the day.
11. 32,000. That's the number of golf courses on this planet. And the countries most endowed with courses are Scotland, New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland. Can you say "playground"?
