What's one thing you wish could be changed about golf?
There's the rules, dress code, and general confusion surrounding how to get started playing the game. If you had to pick one thing that would make the sport more fun and accessible, what would it be?
I think the biggest thing would be making golf less intimidating for beginners. The rules, etiquette, and even the dress code can feel like barriers before you even take your first swing. A more relaxed, beginner-friendly approach would help a lot. Other sports feel easier to jump into - even something like checking odds on https://vivatbet.ie/en/line/football/2708736-world-cup-2026 feels more accessible and straightforward.
I would like to know in advance the demographics of the club and surrounding areas…
Totally agree Marilyn. Unfortunately golf courses have a long way to go when it comes to helping women (particularly women new to the game) feel comfortable in the setting. I always offer to tag along with friends who are considering going to the course for the first time - that way they have a friend they feel comfortable asking questions.
If golf does not feel easy for you, i wonder what other sports like basketball or krav magga might feel like… seriously ladies?
The intimidation factor that I think many women still feel when they are playing golf.
