Golf: One Day, Four Hours, Skills that Last a Lifetime. Investing in the future of girls & women in golf.
Empowering Women and Girls by learning the skills that last a lifetime. On June7, 2016 women and girls around the world will be golfing. Either experiencing it for the first time through lessons or playing nine hole and then sharing their experience.
International Women's Golf is June 7th. There are over 360 locations and 15 countries participating. It is a one day, 4 hour experience where girls and women can take lessons or play 9 holes then socialize and network. Locations all over ranging from free to a nominal cost. Women are an important emerging market for the golf industry that has not been cultivated. As well they are often times responsible for economic decisions made by the family as well as life choices. It is important to see the importance of them having a positive experience around golf no matter how active or often they play.
The skill set, experience and connections made through golf last a lifetime. Studies show that women who play sports excel in other aspects of their lives. This $70 Billion industry creates 2 million jobs in America and there is plenty of room for growth when only approximately 13% of the 27 million golfers are women. As new avid players to the game or economic influencers it is worth investing in the future of girls and women in golf.
