The word GOLF allegedly stood for Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden, a condition which definitely won’t be tolerated in these modern times. Indeed, the game has journeyed quite a ways from being the misogynistic Scottish sport it had started out to be. Women golfers now abound and even excel in the sport. Testament to this is the number of golf schools for women in countries like the United States and Australia. In the US, National Golf Schools has more than 60 branches throughout the nation. It provides programs specifically designed for women at 5-star championship courses, just like golf schools for men do. The Hilton Academy, as well, has been offering golf instruction courses for women since the late ‘90s. Hilton Women’s Only Golf Academy holds golf lessons year-round at several Hilton Resorts. Classes are available for groups or privately for individuals. Another name in golf schools for women is the Bird Golf Schools: Women’s Program. This is headed by 3-time LPGA Tour winner and Golf for Women magazine founder Sharon Miller and another 3-time LPGA winner Mary Wills. These schools are ideal both for beginners and experienced players. Classes at the Bird Golf Schools also take place in various resort locations in eight states. Of course, most schools also offer lessons via DVD. If they offer too many, students can just use dvdshrink to back them all up. With the “ladies” doing so well in the sport, nobody had better point out what Golf actually stood for.
