Celebrating the amazing contributions of women in golf and how we can make the world of golf more inclusive for everyone.
Today, on Women's International Day, we celebrate the amazing contributions that women make in every area of life, including sports.
It’s exciting to see that many women have taken up golf over the years and today there are countless female golfers who are inspiring the next generation.
As in various sports and sectors, there is still a long way to go when it comes to gender equality and women unfortunately continue to face obstacles in many aspects.
So what can we do to make golf more inclusive for everyone?
Here are a few ideas:
Support women's golf programs - There are many ways to help support women's golf programs, including organising events, volunteering or simply attend women's golf events in your community, and encourage your friends and family to do the same
Encourage young girls to play golf - By introducing young girls to golf, we can help create a more diverse and inclusive golf community. For example, the Girls Golf Rocks Program, which is returning in May, has been really successful with over 100 new girl golfers introduced over the last 4 years.
Advocate for gender equality - Speak up and advocate for gender equality in golf and in all sports. Whether it's on social media or in your community, your voice can help create change.
Let's work together to make golf a sport that welcomes and values everyone, regardless of gender.
