Hello.
I am a female beginner and inherited a set of clubs from my brother. I wonder
should I get golf clubs for women?
Would clubs for men and women make
a lot of difference?
Thanks!
Affirma

Yes, by all means get your own, unless you have tried out your brother's clubs and feel comfortable with them. Women's clubs are generally a bit shorter and designed for slower swing speeds. Also, a new set, even a cheap knock-off, will probably be more up to date from a technology standpoint. You will find that a starter set with a couple of woods, a putter, and 4 irons will last you long enough to decide whether you want to get more serious about the game, will serve you well, and won't break the bank.

Somehow I don't think Franklin Roosevelt played while he was President!

No, but FDR was an avid golfer before being struck with polio, and he claimed it as his favorite sport.
setting women's tee markers

Not even women pros play from the men's tees. At my home course the women's tees are placed on the men's tees or dropped in front of the men's tee and lose the elevation that the men have. Someone send Park Mammoth Resort Golf Course a guideline for setting tee markers to be fair to women.They are driving all women gilfers off of the course. Even Sorrenstam couldn't compete from these tees.On a 620 yqrd par five the women are hitting from 610 yqrds! even seen a hole like that on the pro womens tour? We're amateurs. Give us a break!

it will be wonderful when everyone learns there are NOT men and womens tees but THE Teeing Ground.....that is you swing from the tee markers that would be appropriate for your playing ability.
The USGA has a wonderful video called Spirit of the game that every old new and junior golfer should watch to learn this valuable information....

Thank you for the website and article. I left due to divorce and financial and lifestyle changes. I had hoped to find a partner that would share my interest. Going back to work has been an issue both timewise and energywise. Now, having weathered through some of the aboveand ending a relationship, I am very inspired to get back into the game. You're right, take a few lessons, hit the driving range, buy some new clothes and book a vacation!!!! Thanks for the timely article.

You probably forgot to mention the most important fact. Money. The courses fees are unbelievable.

As a member of EWGA, I can attest to ample opportunities to play. From twilight and Saturday leagues to clinics, competative tournaments and weekend trips, there's something for the "wanna be golfer", beginner and advanced players alike. And the opportunity to learn to take advantage of business on the course -like men have always done - has been the most valuable benefit of all! Check out EWGA.com
