June's Women Golf Month
By Lynne L Finch

Now that our EWGA leagues are out on the golf courses, you’ve gotta love Babe Didrikson Zaharias’ observation, “Golf is a game of coordination, rhythm and grace; women have these to a high degree.”

And being women, we also like to talk, so this month is the time to talk golf. Did you know that June is American Express Women’s Golf Month? The promotion is part of the national Play Golf America campaign. For more information about this and next month’s Family Golf Month, visit www.playgolfamerica.com.

As you think about women on the golf course here is the good news and bad news from the world of statistics. First the bad: According to the recent National Golf Foundation report, the number of women golfers remains flat at 23% of total golfers, but in 2008 women played only 15% of all rounds in the United States, continuing a downward trend for women.

Now for the good: Girls ages 6-17 are playing more rounds than boys. The average rounds a year for girls is 13 compared to 10 for boys. Go girls!

As you spread the word and encourage more women and girls to golf, be prepared. The next Tiger on the course may be a Tigress!
