Women in Golf

Women's Golf is underdevelopedGolf Datatech, a golf trend, research company unveiled its first-ever Women’s Golf Market Study. Among the revealing results of attitudes of women golfers to the game, is startling fact that the average golf course is considered to be “a very male oriented place”…. no shit! All this, despite the fact that 50% of the U.S. population is female (there was probably another survey to determine this) and yet less than 25% of total golfers are women - to be serious for one moment, I’m actually surprised that it’s as high as this.

Further questioning on Golf Habits actually showed similar needs, wants and concerns to their male counterparts.  The conclusion to anyone who’s interested in leveraging the women’s golf market is that they should make it more accessible and appealing to the female player……probably by getting rid of all the male players!

The message is that the women’s golf market remains underdeveloped and underserved.
