June is the Best month for Women Golfers!

Have you ever tried to introduce a female friend or relative to the wonderful word of golf, only to be given a handful of excuses as to why they’re not ready to share your love of the game? I’m sure a few of the excuses you may have heard is that their intimidated by it all or perhaps the cost of picking up a new sport is hindering them, and of course one of the biggest excuse you’ve heard is probably that they just don’t have the time. Just like any sport, if you’ve never done it before, it can be intimidating. You don’t know all of the rules and etiquette of the game, how to properly utilize the equipment, even knowing what to wear can be daunting task if you’ve never done it before.
Well, you and those ladies are in luck, because June is Women’s golf month. That means participating golf courses and retail shops are giving free lessons (any level) and special discounts all over the country. This is really great for all women golfers, but it may just be your secret weapon to tip the scale in your favor to drag Miss apprehensive to the course. And, once she’s there realizing what makes golf such an amazing sport, I’m positive she’ll miraculously find the time to do it again and again… There’s no better time to be a woman golfer (beginner or novice) than June!

You Can Still Get Away

Oh, the economy. It’s definitely affecting everyone’s lives these days. Even if you’re fortunate enough to not have to make cutbacks at the moment, I’m sure you’re still thinking about ways to save money.
One industry that is seeing some major cutbacks is the travel industry. People just aren’t able to get away like they used to, forcing them to look for places closer to home to get away from it all. Your local golf course is a great place to make a quick escape! Don’t have a membership anywhere at the moment? Now is the perfect time to shop around. Many clubs are offering big discounts on rounds and memberships to boost business. And ladies, June is Women’s golf month which means further discounts and free lessons at clubs all over the country for women!
The next time you’re gearing up for a game, treat it like a vacation. Get the girls together for a girls trip, wear something fun (and functional of course) like you would on a trip. Once you’re there, leave the phone in the car and make sure to take the time to relax and take in the beautiful landscape. Before too long, you’ll forget that you’re only a few miles from home and that you had to skip Fiji this year…
