How To Find Romance
On The Golf Course

Oh Yes! I love to conduct coaching sessions on the beach! Watch this video and imagine the possibilities!

On Oprah today I watched as she did a segment on the women living in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was struck by the comments of one particular woman.  She is tall, lean, blonde, 44 years old and enjoying her singleness.

Denmark has been named by researchers as the happiest country in the world.  There is free health care, free college (as a matter of fact, students are actually paid to attend college), a year paid maternity leave and four years support if you lose your job.

How is this paid for?  A 50% tax rate. Yet these beautiful women that Oprah interviewed were glowing with happiness.  The 44 year old single woman commented that because she is financially secure, she doesn’t need to be married to be happy.  Oprah described how different it is in the States were women obsess over being married.  Or better said, they obsess about GETTING married not being married.

That really got me to thinking.  I have two friends who are desperate to be married.  Beautiful, intelligent….actually tall, lean blondes in their thirties who are so anxious about NOT being married that they are a wreck. continue

I was eagerly anticipating my first Women On Course Golf Experience and I was not disappointed! From the greeting committee (where I got to meet Helen McHugh, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Wendy Montini, West Coast Event Director and Nicole Vockovich from Mass Mutual) through to the signature wine and cheese feast at the end of the round, the day was fantastic.

I was particularly impressed with the care taken to usher the brand new golfers into their own golf experience. The “Red” group, women brand new to the game, was shepherded around the facility and given some etiquette and putting basics while my group, the “Green” group, appropriately called Avid golfers, played a nine hole scramble. The “Blue” group, advanced beginners, had a one hour clinic and played a four hole scramble of their own.

The group included interesting women from all parts of San Diego and I met some fantastic new contacts. It was a great fun to watch the happy winners of great prizes including a Callaway golf bag and other cool things. Each woman received a goodie bag to take home. The energy was amazing and the networking was fabulous!

We raised our wine glass to Donna Hoffman founder of Women on Course! Her passion to create a golf community for women that is relaxing, fun and easy to access has definitely drawn me back into the game. After a two year hiatus, I am delighted to be part of this organization. I love these events, the fabulous women I am meeting each time I go and being treated so elegantly throughout the day!

Thanks Donna, Lee and the rest of the WOC team who made my day such a success!

Be a guest at our next Women on Course event!

It never fails.  The moment a woman really gets it, the moment she realizes that there are countless opportunities to meet great men in golf, the opportunities for some innocent flirtation and fun pop out of the woodwork.  How can you capitalize on all that great opportunity just waiting for you to jump in?  It is not as hard as you think. continue

Ladies there are some of you reading this who once had a passing interest in golf.  Or maybe you are a retired softball or tennis player.  Golf offers the kind of challenge that will sharpen you right up…at every level.  To say nothing of the advantages of being a skilled woman golfer in business.

Don’t get me wrong.  You don’t have to be scoring in the 80’s to take play the  highly profitable game of customer golf.  Nor do you need a single digit handicap to host a threesome of important male contacts on a fabulously planned golf event.  All you need is a presence on the golf course that communicates a serious respect for the game and a great sense of humor. continue

“I used to have friends that just just hung out together.” She sighed. “ We didn’t have to make plans or anything  We just hung out”.  The woman on the other end of the phone continued, “I think I just gave up trying years ago.”  Can you relate?

Where did our social circles go anyway? Years ago it seemed we easily congregated in some one’s apartment or dorm room. Young moms might gather occasionally at the neighborhood Starbucks, but eventually work environments become the main social environment.  How few of us work with groups of people who are genuinely supportive and kind to one another.  On good days ambivalent and on bad ones down right hostile, no wonder we isolate ourselves more and more as we get older. continue
