Women are the fastest-growing segment of the golf market. Twenty years ago, it was a rare site to see a woman swinging a nine iron on the golf course. Today, women golfers account for approximately one-quarter of adult golfers in the U.S. -- an estimated 5.8 million female golfers. In fact, the women golfers market has become a $1 billion worldwide business.
It’s not too late to introduce your mother to the sport of golf, no matter what their age. Just ask Scott Pierson, the founder and President of www.momswhogolf.com. An avid golfer, he invited his mother, age 82 at the time, to the putting green and then driving range. She then progressed to golf lessons with Scott’s pro. Today, one year later, Dorothy Pierson of Norwalk, Connecticut, now age 83, absolutely loves the sport and plays as often as she can! If Dorothy can golf as an octogenarian, your mom can, too!
In fact, women golfers come to golf older than men but stay with the sport longer. According to the National Golf Foundation, the average age of women golfers is 45, while the average age of men is 44. The median age of avid women golfers is 56. Thirty-seven percent of women golfers are fifty or older, compared to 32% for men.
Why not give your mom, or any female in your life, the gift of a golf lesson? The golf lesson gift certificate available on this site is redeemable within a network of professional golfing instructors nationwide.
