EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT. EVERYBODY HAS DIFFERENT OPINIONS AND VIEWS. You will however at most golf clubs come across people that are very set in their ways, men and women. We have to respect what the elder people of the game of golf have to say and realise that they are simply from a different time, we need to look at new audiences to reach out too and show them that women’s golf is here and it’s growing. However I learned the hard way, eggshells are something I never stepped on, I rubbed people up the wrong way and I guess I was always on the thinner side of the cocky/ confident line. I am however extremely hard working, very intelligent and I wear my heart on my sleeve. I feel pretty invincible being a professional golfer, with my own business, my own product and the ability to express my opinions to help better the sport. For the men reading this – don’t be intimidated by a woman that can compete with you. I am happy to take on any man, woman girl or boy on the golf course and let my game speak for itself. I have every right to be there. Hey you never know you might even enjoy my company. The game is hard enough without people trying to make it harder for women, so before you have something to say, take a step back and just think for a moment. Everybody is different. Everybody has different opinions and views. I’m just a woman trying very hard to make a difference to a game that still has the stigma of being an ‘old man’s sport’ You never know how hard it is until you’ve walked a mile in my 6-inch shoes. 73 | YOURCADDY MAG - ISSUE 04
