3. Recently another exciting

way to engage women has

been the development of

the

GolfForHer.com

web-

site

. What does that web-

site offer women?

It provides answers to many

questions that women and

girls may have, but have

never had the opportunity to

ask. It’s a warm, welcoming

resource for women and girls

to get engaged or further

engaged in golf.

4. Women are now the

fastest growing segment

of new players entering

the game of golf.

How

many new women players

have entered the game in

the past few years?

In the past two years over

660,000 new women golfers

have begun playing golf.

That represents almost a 15%

increase and is proof that the

programs are paying dividends.

5. What is the strategy to

tear down the perceived

barriers?

Within the PGA, a long-term

effort has started that will bring

more women and minorities

into PGA membership so

that it reflects the society

as a whole. Secondly, the

organization is striving to

create a sense of belonging

that resonates with all races,

ethnicities and genders.

6. What is your message to

women who play golf?

One of the main reasons that

many women don’t play is

that they have not yet been

invited. An invitation can be

a powerful thing.

Every golfer should extend

invitations to non-golfing

friends to join them the next

time they go to the golf course

or the practice range. Let’s

grow the game of golf together!
