Etiquette

Golf etiquette emphasizes respect for fellow players by being quiet, standing still, and avoiding slow play. Players should take care of the course by repairing divots, ball marks, and raking bunkers, while also prioritizing safety by ensuring no one is in the path of their swing or ball. Adhering to a steady pace of play, following the course’s dress code, and allowing faster groups to play through are also essential.

The recent rise of women’s empowerment through golf marks a pivotal moment in both the sport and society, breaking long-standing barriers and redefining what it means to be a golfer.

We women are not only excelling in the game but also reshaping its culture, proving that golf is a platform for strength, leadership, and inclusion! Our presence inspires a new generation of female athletes curious in taking up the sport. Let’s challenge the outdated stereotypes and pave the way for greater gender equality in not just this sport but every aspect of life—one swing at a time.
