Linda! Welcome to the game of golf!
Imtimidation? You are NOT alone...MOST golfers feel this way. Here are a couple of things to think about..
1 Join a women's group - ask the pro if there is one where you play...or EWGA (Executive Women Golf Assoc - directed at business women).
2. When you book a tee time - explain that you are a new golfer and would prefer to be put with other women or a mixed couple.
3. Remember... everyone has a poor day, poor hole or poor shot, so most golfers will sympathize.
4. Make sure you know the etiquette and the importance of keeping a good pace.
Hold your head up and smile - know that you are not alone!
