What do you do in that instance when you're playing alone and no one is with you to see it? Do you wait on the tee box for the next group? Yes..I guess it would be hard to prove that you had been standing there the whole time. So if you're alone it's "too bad, try again"?

Same here....if I'm just outside my 6 iron length it's a hybrid to the green on a par 4. It does get a little frustrating on the longer par 5's. I've been working on my putting to save me a stroke or 2 on the green once i finally get there! I don't think the courses are set up for the "average" woman golfer.

My dad and I played Rocky Bayou last month. It's a private course but they have recently opened it to non-members after 12 pm. The fairways are pretty wide and the greens are fantastic!!! The course is in Niceville - about 30 minutes from Destin. It's no on the water, but a great place to try.

I have increased my swing speed and have noticed a difference lately. I usually drive between 150-200 (more if the ball gets a lot of roll downhill) and my irons are increasing as well (my 9 averages around 100). I played a course recently that was mostly uphill and it was quite discouraging as it was sometimes difficult to reach the green in regulation. Even from the women's tees some of the holes were around 450-uphill. I think some women find it boring and a "men's game". I love it myself. I can't wait to get out on the course and challenge myself and learn more by watching better players.

Hi all! A little about me...I am a self-described golf nut and I wear the title proudly. I play 1-2 rounds a weekend and one evening a week. I've gotten back to golf seriously in the past 1.5 years. Looking forward to taking part In the discussions and I'm sure I'll pick up a lot of great info. My avatar pic-this was my tee shot on a par 3 - 92 yards with my 9 iron. So close to an ace! One day....

I joined the forum so I could answer this question. I have no problem with going to the range or even playing a round alone. It gives me time to really focus on my technique. Occasionally, I'll be asked to join the group either ahead or behind me and I will usually accept the offer. Playing in front of strangers is a great way to build confidence. I'm a pretty strong player and hit the ball well (usually) so I don't slow down the group. From what I have seen, women have a large choice of equipment and clothing (though $90 for a golf skirt is insane). Being 6'1", I just wish that the shoe manufacturers would expand the sizes they make-that's my chief complaint.
