Levelling the Fairways: Addressing key challenges faced by female golfers

Women & Golf's new series, Levelling the Fairways, aims to highlight hurdles faced by female golfers and provide a platform for discussion, insight, and growth within the golfing community.

Golf has long been cherished as a sport of tradition and camaraderie. But despite progress in a lot of areas, the journey for female golfers often presents some unique and complex challenges. From unequal access to tee times to navigating a predominantly male-dominated sport, barriers remain that impact a woman's ability to fully engage with and enjoy the game.

Over the next few months, Women & Golf’s new series, Levelling the Fairways, will delve into some of these issues through articles, interviews, and personal stories from women who have successfully navigated these challenges.

Our aim is to not only highlight the problems faced by female golfers but also propose actionable solutions that clubs and individuals can implement to foster a more inclusive golfing environment.

And we need your help …
