The New "Golf For Her" Website

Golfweek.com ran an article yesterday about a new website for women called Golf For Her. I flipped over to take a look, and I think you should know about it.



This is really an ambitious project. The article says:

Mona [that's Steve Mona, CEO of the World Golf Foundation] said he wasn’t aware of any other sport where all the governing bodies had come together to support an ecumenical site.

“Over time,” he said, “we hope it can become the recognized entry point for women’s golf.”

There are more than just governing bodies involved. I saw logos for at least 11 different organizations on their front page, ranging from the PGA Tour and LPGA to the USGA, Golf Digest, First Tee, National Women's Golf Alliance and more.

Like I said, ambitious.

The World Golf Foundation launched the site on Wednesday and enlisted Stacy Lewis to serve as both launch ambassador and a regular site contributor. The idea is that women who are interested in the game can pop over and find all kinds of info:

• guidance on how to get started in the game
• news about new equipment
• help finding other women golfers in their area
• instructional articles
• just entertaining features to read

There's also a newsletter you can sign up to receive.

All-in-all, it's pretty impressive-looking for a new site and appears like it has the potential to do just what the WGF has in mind. You can check it out at golfforher.com.
