Welcome to Women's Golf Established 2014

Why Women's Golf is different.

We're not part of a big media company. My husband Richard and I started Women's Golf in 2014 because I couldn't find online golf lessons that were truly designed for women golfers. I wanted to create the kind of place I wished had existed, a welcoming, ad-free home where women could learn from the world's best instructors.

I look after our members, our instructors and the lessons we share, while Richard takes care of the technology behind the scenes that keeps Women's Golf running.
