Join In On The Fun and Friendships

I have found so much enjoyment playing golf with my senior friends that I want everyone to have the same experience. The easiest way to find a group of like minded ladies who love to golf is to join a local ladies league. My experience has been they are all very friendly and welcoming to visitors and new members.

Nearly every course has one or two organized women’s leagues. There is almost always an 18-hole day league for women who are either retired or have a work schedule that allows them to take off during the week. Many courses also have an evening league for working women. Due to time constraints, these are 9-hole leagues rotating from front to back nines each week.

If you’re interested in joining in on the fun of a ladies league, call the pro shop of the golf course you are interested in joining. They can give you the name of the best person to contact to get info to be a guest or to join.

The fun doesn’t stop during the off-season either. Most of these leagues informally organize activities for the winter months. Weekly card games, other games and lunches are very common. My group of friends often travel together, as well.

If you don’t know how to golf yet, no problem. I do recommend taking a set of basic lessons from a teaching professional to get started. You need to learn some basic skills and etiquette and then you can just go out and have fun.

It’s all about the fun and friendships.
