Golf is a great way for women of all ages and skill levels to connect with friends and family.

Market research shows that many women are turned off by golf. Golfing does have its nuances and there’s quite a learning curve. But it is worth learning the game to spend several hours outside with friends and family on a weekly basis. Many public courses and private clubs in our neighborhood offer some kind of "Ladies Day" and various group golf lesson packages designed for women. And, women executives enjoy many business benefits with golf. According to a survey conducted by the Golf Digest Companies Research Center, "22 percent of women executive golfers have closed business deals on the golf course."

Cheers for Isabelle Beisiegel, or "Izzy" as she is known, made golfing history last week by being the first woman to earn a place on a men's professional golf tour.

In the Lexington Park area there are plenty of golf courses to choose from including Cedar Pointe Golf Club, Chesapeake Hills Golf Course and Brenton Bay Golf and Country Club (which has a ladies golf association).

So grab some new friends from around your apartment home community and hit the golf course, have some fun, and maybe close a business deal or two.
