While golfing may often be seen as a man’s pastime, the popularity and number of women taking up golf is soaring. As with the majority of sports, there is no set decree on who can and can’t take part. If you’re someone thinking about taking up the sport, you may want to think of ways that you can better enjoy your time on the green, and even improve your stroke. Not only can this help you to relax and unwind, but it may also help to boost your confidence whilst on the course and enjoy the game to its full potential.
When you want to play golf, either on your own or with others, you may want to make sure that you have the correct tools. It can be far more convenient to own your own wedge, rather than need to keep borrowing them from friends, your partner, or the club itself. Looking for the best golf wedges for your current ability and handicap may enable you to continue to improve.
It could also be helpful to have your own wedge which, in a fairly short amount of time, you’ll get used to using. Some people find that this way, they can ensure that the wedge is maintained properly, and even become so accustomed to its size, weight, and shape, that it almost feels like an extension of themselves. Therefore, when buying your own wedge, you may also want to look into items that will allow you to service it and keep it in the best possible condition.
As with some sports, it is entirely possible that you may face sexist comments from small-minded individuals who are still of the opinion that it is a man’s sport. For you to be able to enjoy your time on the green that much more, you may want to consider how you respond to these comments. While you may be entitled to the annoyance you feel, it can be important not to let it put you off of your passion. You may want to speak to the person to figure out whether they meant it offensively, or if it was simply a poor choice of words. At times, simply explaining why a comment is unacceptable may be enough. However, if not, it could be a good idea to report this behavior to the club. While sexism isn’t acceptable, you should try to avoid retaliating, as this could potentially jeopardize both your own enjoyment and membership.
A final, simple way you could better enjoy golfing can be through your appearance. The golfing green is often not the place for fancy outfits or high heels. One of the other key changes you may want to make with your outfit can be to ensure long hair is tied up, which can apply to both men and women. This way, it may be less likely to get in your face or ruin your swing.
Playing golf isn’t something that is strictly reserved for men. People of all genders can find enjoyment, and often tranquillity when they spend time out on a golfing green.
