Ladies Golf Stronger than ever

Buying ladies golf equipment

Women`s golf has always been popular, but is even more so right now, with great women pro players such as Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis leading the way.

Many women became interested in the sport of golf in the 1970s as Women`s Lib Movement was at its peak, in an effort to penetrate the all male golf clubs who refused to budge on their `no ladies` or restricted access for women policies. Nowadays, the same clubs have realised which side their bread is buttered, with women having plenty of disposable income available and ladies now have equal opportunities on the golf course. Hence there has been a huge growth in the market for specialist golf equipment for women.

The choice of equipment is staggering, with golf clubs, ladies clothing, shoes, golf bags, golf balls and golf gloves to suit all requirements, from premium to entry level standard. Golf clubs are available for every level of lady golfer, and most have that touch of femininity in their design.

Premium range manufacturers include Nike Golf, Yonex, Mizuno, and TaylorMade. They supply, golf irons, wedges, fairway woods, drivers and putters as well as stylishly designed golf bags in white and pink. Golf clubs are lighter weight and smaller to suit the women golfer. There are even boxes of golf balls on the market with that hint of femininity. Ladies golf gloves are also in smaller sizes and with design and comfort very much in mind.

Ladies golfing sweaters, polo shirts, weather wear such as fleeces, bright and colourful socks, and skirts, shorts and pants for women are making the golf course a visually stimulating place with vibrant hues contrasting with the drabness of the modern male golfer`s attire. Greg Norman has a trendy range of ladies golf clothing. Hi Tec and CDT Power make very feminine but practical golf shoes with a flash of pastel shade stripes. Rudy Project and Puma have the sunglasses for stylish image conscious golfing ladies who want to turn heads on the course, in startling blue or smoky grey. Ralph Lauren and Adidas produce excellent and fashionable ladies golf clothing.

Women`s golfing sets differ from those available for men in as much as they have wide sole irons for easier quality ball contact, with an undercut cavity to enable improved ball flight and increased distance. Produced with a low centre of gravity and perimeter weighting they create maximum accuracy, forgiveness and power. Ladies cart bags are designed and constructed using ultra light weight materials. For the novice woman golfer who is just starting out, the essential basics required are a cheap golf package set of clubs, which can be bought new for under £100 or used for considerably less. cheap golf accessories are readily available in classified ads columns of local newspapers or online. If eventually bitten by the bug, then is the time to upgrade to a better quality set of clubs to suit her standard of play. Most golf clubs still have a dress code and it is important to access what clothing is required. A good comfortable pair of golf shoes is perhaps the most important item of clothing, as well as a sun visa or sunglasses.
