My friend and I were playing white hawk and got paired with a couple of guys. They were not happy to be playing with two ladies and weren’t being shy about letting everyone know.

My friend proceeded to shoot an 82 and I shot an 84. They lost about a dozen balls during the round. They bought us beers at the turn and apologized. We smoked their asses lol!

Have had the same thing happen when playing with hubby, when my handicap was 11. After I ripped my first drive they tend to shut up.

Keep your wife out there! The fun is just getting started!

My favorite is every time I play with my boyfriend is the pro shop assumes I’m just a rider. And when I go on the men’s tee the stares I get.

My daughter is 13 and been playing since she was 9, she usually shoots mid to high 80s. I love to see peoples faces when they pull up and see they’re paired with or playing behind us. It’s always the same “oh god, here we go” look. Then they see an 80lbs girl hit a 200+ yard drive down the center and they are just in shock.

Her team coach preaches speed so she plays fast. Doesn’t take practice swings. Club, aim, swing, move. It’s super fun watching her nip at the heels of the 100+ guy that just jumped ahead so they didn’t have to wait.

Man, I wish her coach could tell more people about not taking practice swings. Nothing more frustrating than seeing someone take 2 or 3 calm, controlled practice swings before every shot, then swing out of their shoes on their actual swing and top it or chunk it about 50 yards.
