11 Must Know Golf Tips for Women That Actually Work

admin — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 13:06:23 +0000

As a woman golfer with a 1 handicap, I can tell you I have heard both good and bad advice through the years.

Many times women golfers are looked at as entirely different players because of their perceived lack of swing speed. The good news is this is not the case, and there are plenty of ways that women golfers can improve and compete against anyone!

Here are 11 of my top tips for women golfers.

1. Low and Slow on The Takeaway

The golf swing takeaway should be low and slow.

So many women golfers try to push this and make it faster to gain clubhead speed. Trust me on this one; a nice low and slow takeaway will not cause you to lose your clubhead speed.

Get that speed by being strong and being in the right position at impact. Keeping it low and slow allows the hips to turn back and the wrist hinge to happen at the proper time.

2. Don’t Be Afraid to Get Aggressive

Many women golfers have incredible tempo and rhythm in their swings that can significantly help with consistency.

However, there is something to be said for being aggressive as well. Don’t be afraid to go after the ball when the situation allows. Swing confidently and finish your shot with your hands held high, facing your target.

This is especially important on bunker shots. So many women slow down on these types of shots, and the result will be a golf ball still left in the bunker. Of course, you will need to learn the mechanics of the bunker shot, but once you have that down, don’t be afraid to swing with full confidence.

3. Consistency Is Key

If you can swing out of your shoes and get five extra yards or swing with consistency and hit it five yards short but down the middle, choose consistency.

Women golfers get a bit of a break by getting to play from the ladies’ tees; your goal is to become a consistent and accurate player from here, don’t worry about driving the green.

In addition, make sure you are consistent in your putting stroke. If your putting stroke is a bit inconsistent, there will likely be issues with confidence and your ability to make putts. Instead, try to focus on making a consistent stroke each time and improving the overall roll of your putts by doing so.

4. A Wider Stance Is Not Always Better

Many women golfers are told to take a wider stance by others in their golf game or even some family or friends that are trying to help.

The proper posture is essential for women golfers, and if your stance is too wide, it becomes challenging to get your weight off the back foot and generate enough club head speed.

I used to ask women golfers to stand with their feet together and hit shots, and the results were really surprising; many had much better success than you may think from this position.

5. Use Weights to Increase Clubhead Speed

If you want to hit the ball further and get stronger, the equation is simple. You simply need to learn to swing the club faster, meaning you may need a little more strength.

Learn the basics of the golf swing and get them down, and then start swinging with a weighted club to make things a bit easier. A female golfer can make big changes to their total distances by working with weighted clubs.

This is one of my favorite products out there to help improve your clubhead speed:

6. Women’s Golf Equipment Isn’t Always Better

Women’s golf equipment isn’t always the right choice for all women golfers.

If you’re a faster swing speed player or a taller woman, senior golf clubs and even men’s golf clubs can be a good fit. Don’t get stuck on the idea that you need women’s golf clubs.

This also applies to women’s golf balls. Not many ball options for women are considered premium golf balls. Most are distance or soft feel, but very few offer high spin (which I prefer).

Don’t worry about the woman’s version of the ball – simply switch to something you can get the performance you need.

7. Look for High Ball Flight

Some women golfers have the wrong idea about ball flight and the impact it has on their swing.

You need a higher ball flight if you want to get more distance. That fairway wood that you’ve had all these years that is a bit heavy and won’t allow you to get the ball up in the air has got to go!

Find golf clubs that allow the ball to soar up high in the air and then use these to capitalize on distance and total carry.

8. Course Management Is Key

Golf course management is a huge part of playing great golf. If you’re not sure the best place to hit your next golf shot, don’t even swing!

Women golfers should plan out every hole they play and be smart about where they’re playing their shots. Sometimes, this means aiming away from a bunker or laying up before a water hazard on a par 5.

In addition, women golfers should be especially careful to manage their typical ball flight and how that will play into the golf course management decisions. If you typically have a bit of a slice as a miss and there is water down the right, aim your drive down the left side of the fairway.

9. Find a Great Instructor

It’s great to work on your game and get better through lots of drills and self-driven practice, but finding a great instructor makes this entire process so much more fun. With a great instructor, you can have something you count on and enjoy working with.

In addition, they’ll celebrate your wins with you, making this entire journey and process much more enjoyable. Golf tips from other beginners, your spouse, or friends are sometimes not all that helpful, and it’s crucial to get good feedback from those that know the game well.

Don’t feel the need to take weekly lessons if it is not your preference, but going to a lesson from time to time is a great way to improve your overall game and check in on your progress.

10. Short Game Shots Are Not All The Same

All chips and pitches are not the same, and as soon as you learn to design shots around the green, the better your chance will be of scoring lower. I’ll say this – most women golfers are not carrying enough wedges in their bags.

Women players very often only carry a pitching wedge and a sand wedge. Most professionals have a pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and lob wedge. With each of these individual clubs, they’re able to hit a variety of golf shots.

This means that accomplished players know how to hit shots that are low, high, quick stopping, long rolling, and more. Essentially learning how to hit a variety of shots around the greens will make you a much more competitive player. Not all chips are the same!

11. Get Involved in Golf Tournaments

If you don’t like competitive golf as an individual sport, try to find a friend to play some partner events with. Golfing with friends is incredibly fun, and it will teach you so much about the game.

Women’s golf events are sometimes just scrambles or team better ball events. You may not feel the pressure you think you will, and sometimes our games play really well with this extra pressure.

Getting involved in tournaments also allows you to practice for something and prepare. Having a goal to work on is really important and getting involved in tournaments is a quick and easy way to do it.

Why this ‘noxious weed’ will give U.S. Women’s Open players fits

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 21:12:00 +0000

Riviera, the storied golf club in the heart of Los Angeles, is special — not only because it has hosted some of golf’s biggest tournaments (and stars) but also for reasons you might not have considered.

“Our property is down in the bottom of this canyon; it’s basically an old dry-wash riverbed,” Marshall Dick, the club’s superintendent. “Our general philosophy here is to nurture, enhance and perfect what wants to naturally grow within this canyon, because it’s a unique environment.”

Ahead of this week’s U.S. Women’s Open — the first-ever at Riviera — GOLF visited with the club’s agronomy team to learn more about what they do onsite and how they are preparing for the biggest women’s event of the year.

And it all starts with one word: Kikuya, which is a rare grass that grows on the course’s fairways and rough. (The greens are Poa annua.)

Dick said Kikuya is still considered a “noxious weed” in most parts of the country and you need special permitting to bring the seed into the U.S. But at Riviera?

“It’s our turf grass,” he said.

As for your next question: What is Kikuya? Assistant super Tyler Shuman explains:

“Kikuya kind of came in naturally. It grows here … and the climate has kinda embraced it, and so have we. It’s definitely a different beast,” he said. “Kikuya can be hardy, but it can be affected pretty easily too. Timing and the type of year will change things. When we have the PGA Tour event in February, it kind of wants to shut down and go to sleep with the cooler temperatures. In the summer months, it becomes more of a spongy, hardy material.”

“It doesn’t look as thick as it is,” added Alexa Moncada, a senior agronomist on the Riviera staff. “You get your ball in there and you can be 200 yards out — you’re not getting a fairway wood out of there. It’s tough. People might even compare it to fescue. It’s thick, and your ball just kind of sinks. I don’t think it’s as challenging in the short cut, but the rough is tough — you can’t really get it out.”

Bettinardi releases Matt Fitzpatrick-inspired BB1 FF, BB48-F putters

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:40:50 +0000

Bettinardi worked with Matt Fitzpatrick on more than 30 prototypes to create two new Tour-inspired milled putters.

Gear: Bettinardi BB1 Fitz Flow (BB1 FF), BB48 Fitz (BB48-F) putters

Price: $550 each

Specs: One-piece milled 303 stainless steel putters with Bettinardi’s new Fitz Face milling pattern, TourTone finish, rolled toplines and 350-gram heads

Available: May 8

Who it’s for: Golfers seeking Tour-inspired milled putters with specific toe-flow options. The BB1 FF is designed for players with a moderate arc in their stroke, while the BB48-F is aimed at golfers using a straight-back, straight-through or slight-arc motion.

What you should know: Bettinardi worked with Matt Fitzpatrick on more than 30 prototypes to develop these putters, which are based on the models Fitzpatrick has used on Tour. Both feature a new semi-circular face milling pattern that creates Fitzpatrick’s preferred feel and roll characteristics.

The Deep Dive: Matt Fitzpatrick has never been shy about how he obsesses over details. Yardage books, launch conditions, spin rates, putting setup. If there’s a measurable edge to be found, Fitzpatrick has spent time thinking about it.

That mindset eventually led him down a rabbit hole involving face milling. According to Bettinardi, Fitzpatrick preferred a groove profile on an older putter that was no longer being produced. Rather than simply settle for something close, he began searching for a long-term solution that could recreate the feel and roll characteristics he wanted.

That search ultimately led him to Sam Bettinardi and his company’s milling operation in Tinley Park, Illinois.

Instead of adapting an existing retail model, Bettinardi underwent a project that ultimately involved creating more than 30 prototypes before Fitzpatrick signed off on the final designs, the BB1 Fitz Flow and BB48-F.

The most interesting feature of the putters is something Bettinardi calls Fitz Face, a semi-circular milling pattern that stretches across the center portion of the face. The company says the geometry, tool size and milling depth were all engineered specifically to produce the feel and forward roll Fitzpatrick prefers.

Visually, both putters blend Bettinardi’s traditional milling aesthetic with a modern, contrast-heavy appearance. The bodies use a TourTone finish that combines Diamond Blast stainless steel surfaces with a Black Armor anodized rear section, creating strong visual separation between the topline and trailing portions of the head.

The BB1 Fitz Flow is a compact blade with softened shoulders, a thinner flange line and a flow neck that creates moderate toe hang. It should be ideal for players who naturally release the toe through impact and create some arc in the putting stroke.

The BB48-F takes the same construction concepts and applies them to a wider, semi-circular mallet. It uses a spud neck and double-bend shaft configuration to create a face-balanced setup that should appeal more to golfers who minimize face rotation during the stroke.

Both heads are milled from a single block of 303 stainless steel and weigh 350 grams.

For Bettinardi, the release of the BB1 Fitz Flow and BB48-F also represents something slightly different from the company’s typical Tour-issue offerings. These aren’t simply inspired by something Fitzpatrick used briefly in competition. These are the exact concepts he helped refine to win this season’s Valspar Championship, RBC Heritage and Zurich Classic.

This U.S. Women’s Open is special for a much bigger reason

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 09:08:10 +0000

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. — There’s a statue at Riviera Country Club that lords over the entire place. From high on its perch, just outside the clubhouse on a hill, a dark brown bust of Ben Hogan overlooks the 18th green. The course is nicknamed Hogan’s Alley, for his three different wins here in the 1940s, and at the base of that statue are the names of other winners at Riv. In a few months, here in the club’s centennial year, that statue will finally add a woman’s name to the plaque. This is the first women’s tournament played at Riviera Country Club.

“I say it all the time,” Morgan Pressel said Wednesday morning, along the 1st fairway. “I say it literally every chance I get. I believe very strongly about how important venues are.”

It has been a bit of a crusade for Pressel, the idea that some of the biggest events in women’s golf have long struggled to access the courses where men have made golf history. It’s why Pressel signed off from her week of analysis on the 2021 USWO broadcast on NBC in such a giddy mood. She had just watched Yuka Saso chase down Lexi Thompson at Olympic Club, which had hosted five U.S. Opens, but never the women’s.

“To add our own history to the already storied history at Olympic Club — it was a really special week … I remember when Pebble Beach was announced [as 2023 host]. I was like ‘Ohmygoodness. We get to play Pebble Beach.’”

Pressel would have loved to compete at Riv during her days atop the pro game. But she played during an era where the biggest event in women’s golf was played at less-heralded courses. The reason why would never be clear, but instead of playing Pebble Beach, in Northern California, the USWO went to nearby Cordevalle. Instead of the game’s best taking on Merion, where the most famous photo of competitive golf was snapped — yes, more Hogan — the ladies played 70 miles west in Lancaster. Instead of taking on big and burly Shinnecock in 2013, they went farther out on Long Island to Sebonack. And instead of making that weird distinction forever and ever, the USGA made a pivot.

“Eight or nine years ago, our strategies changed,” John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championship officer, said Wednesday. “We put at the top of our pyramid going to America’s greatest venues. When we say that, we mean it, and we start with the golf course, and [Riviera] is one of America’s greatest venues.”

The implementation has been somewhat sporadic, as Lancaster hosted again in 2024 and Erin Hills last summer, but the USGA’s run of bringing the women to the game’s most iconic haunts starts in earnest this week.

From Riviera, the ladies will head to Inverness Club, a Donald Ross classic in Toledo that has hosted six men’s majors, zero women’s. Then it’s off to Oakmont, where last summer J.J. Spaun made one of the most memorable putts in USGA history. Then it’s Pinehurst in 2029, the week directly following the men’s U.S. Open there — and, no, the timing is not by chance. Oh, you tuned in to watch Rory and the boys rip around the waste areas? Nelly and the girls will do the same in just a couple days.

The USGA has announced 17 of the next 22 USWO sites, a number of which will host the women for the first time after decades of hosting the men. We’re talking Oakland Hills, Merion, Shinnecock.

“If we’re going to talk about equality and equity, we have to talk about the playing fields,” Pressel continued. “When you talk about golf specifically, there are historic venues that withstand the test of time. They’re far more famous than any single player and any era. Every era they have their moments and their history and their fame.”

At Riv, it goes back to that statue on the hill. Hogan’s 18-month run through the 1947 LA Open, the 1948 LA Open and then the 1948 U.S. Open. But in modern years it’s much more than Hogan or majors — it’s been the Genesis Invitational, annually one of the top events on the PGA Tour, where Dustin Johnson seemed to perfect the sport in 2017, and where Hideki Matsuyama shot a winning 63 in 2024, and where Adam Scott and Phil Mickelson and Jon Rahm all won as well.

The women are experiencing all their peers have been able to throughout the decades — using the same locker room, the same workout facility, scheming their way around the devilish 10th in similar and different ways than the men ever would. Some of them have been quizzing their PGA Tour friends about how to work their way around the course. They’ll snap photos from Riviera’s epic 1st tee, where a 16-year-old Tiger Woods hit his first shot in a professional event. And at the end of their week they’ll summit that mountain of stairs behind the 18th hole, where each of those winners were celebrated en route to sign their scorecards. Yuka Saso carried her clubs up that hill Monday afternoon, almost out of breath, but still having enough to shout, “I just climbed Mount Everest!”

That’s what the women’s game has finally been allowed to do, slowly but surely change its elevation. Royal Troon, in Scotland, hosted its first Women’s Open in 2020. Muirfield, on the other side of the old country, made its debut in 2022. Both clubs existed for more than a century without female members, let alone host women’s majors. It still took the Old Course in St. Andrews until 2007, during Pressel’s second year as a pro, to host the Women’s Open. It’s done so three times now and has delivered three legendary winners: Lorena Ochoa, Stacy Lewis and Lydia Ko.

Pressel calls it all an “arms race” between golf’s governing bodies — both the recent history and future lineup. The PGA of America has Congressional, Hazeltine and Bethpage Black on tap. In 2027, the R&A will bring the women to Royal St. George’s for the first time … after already hosting 15 men’s Opens — with victories from Vardon to Hagen to Norman.

Pressel believes in the connection between winner and venue. She thinks about the feeling NBA players get winning at Madison Square Garden. She thinks about that time she flew to see Taylor Swift play at Wembley Stadium. She thinks about her friend, Paula Creamer, not just winning a U.S. Open, but winning an Open at Oakmont.

“Everybody wants to either be the competitor there, or be the person there watching it,” she said. “It all just elevates women’s golf the more they can be on that playing field.”

The key to better ball striking? Fix this part of your swing

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 21:04:19 +0000

Many golfers struggle with slices, blocks and inconsistent contact without realizing that the real issue is often the clubface, not the swing path.

When the clubface is in a poor position during the downswing, golfers are forced to make last-second compensations to square it before impact. Sometimes those compensations work, but they can also lead to inconsistency and poor ball striking.

One interesting observation from studying elite players is how quickly many of them begin closing the clubface during transition. In fact, some of the best players in the world make this move within the first few inches of the downswing. The challenge is that doing so requires tremendous skill, awareness and timing.

For most recreational golfers, I prefer a simpler approach, which you can watch in the video below.

How to fix your clubface

One of my favorite drills uses a short club, such as a wedge. Grip the club normally with your lead hand, then place your trail thumb on the toe of the clubhead. As you make slow-motion practice swings, feel your lead hand twisting the grip while your trail thumb provides light resistance.

The goal isn’t to aggressively roll the clubface closed. Instead, the drill helps create awareness of how the clubface is moving throughout the downswing.

As golfers develop this skill, they begin to understand that clubface control is largely a timing equation. For a right-handed golfer, if the face closes too early, the ball tends to start left. If it closes too late, the face remains open and the ball starts right.

By improving awareness and learning to square the face earlier, golfers often find they can rotate more freely, strike the ball more solidly and eliminate many of the compensations that lead to inconsistent shots.

Sometimes better golf starts with a better understanding of what the clubface is doing rather than making wholesale swing changes. So if you’re struggling with your ball striking, check what your clubface is doing during the downswing. If you fix it, you will start making better contact in a hurry.

What’s OK to Wear (and What Not to Wear) to a Golf Lesson

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 18:49:50 +0000

If you are new to golf, you may be surprised to learn that appropriate attire is required. Most golf courses have a dress code that must be adhered to, even if you are simply showing up for a golf lesson.

Not knowing what to wear to your first golf lesson can be stressful. Our goal with this article is to help you with that. Here’s a look at what to wear and avoid at your golf lessons.

What’s Acceptable to Wear to a Golf Lesson

Men

If you’re a guy who’s taking your first golf lesson, you must make sure you are wearing some type of collared shirt. This is because most golf courses have a dress code that requires collared shirts for men. A short-sleeved polo shirt or a standard golf shirt are excellent choices for your first lesson.

As far as bottoms, men can decide between long pants or shorts. If the weather is on the cooler side, consider wearing either khakis or some type of slacks. If it’s in the heat of summer, any type of golf shorts are perfectly acceptable at most clubs.

As far as footwear goes, things are pretty flexible. Some golfers like to wear tennis shoes while on the driving range while others will opt for golf shoes. If you choose to wear golf shoes to your first lesson, opt for ones with soft spikes because metal spikes aren’t allowed at some courses.

Women

Women golfers have a few more options as far as the top goes. At most clubs, ladies can wear sleeveless tops as long as the shirt has a collar. Women can also choose to wear a turtleneck or crew-neck top if it has sleeves.

As far as the bottoms, ladies can choose from golfing pants, golf shorts, or a skirt. Another option is skorts, which is a combination between a skirt and shorts. As a general rule, skirts or shorts must come down to around the knee.

Footwear choices for women golfers are the same as men’s. Any type of golf shoes or tennis shoes is acceptable, as long as they are spikeless or have soft spikes. Socks that are about ankle high are also a good idea.

What You Should Never Wear to a Golf Lesson

Men

While some golf courses have relaxed their respective dress codes over the last few years, the large majority of them don’t allow any type of denim. So, unfortunately, this means no blue jeans or blue jean shorts. It’s also a good idea not to show up in workout shorts (aka basketball shorts).

As far as the top goes, men should never show up to a golf lesson in t-shirts or tank tops. While both of these are very comfortable, neither one is considered to be proper golfing attire. Remember, golf is a gentleman’s game and you aren’t at the gym.

For footwear, never show up to your lesson in flip-flops or sandals. If you do, make sure you have golf shoes to change into before meeting your instructor. It’s also smart to wear socks to prevent blisters from getting on your feet.

Women

While stylish off the course, women shouldn’t wear capris to a golf lesson. They also should avoid denim shorts and denim skirts, even though a few courses may allow them. They also should avoid shorts or skirts that are too short.

As far as the top goes, ladies should never show up wearing only a sports bra. While this is perfectly fine at almost any gym, it’s not considered proper golf etiquette.

To avoid footwear faux pas, don’t show up to your lesson in boots or heels. This is basic common sense, but as they say, common sense ain’t common these days.

Other Things to Bring to a Lesson

Like a lot of other sports, golf requires lots of accessories. Let’s go over some of the most important accessories to bring with you to your golf lessons.

1. Visor or Baseball Cap

While no headgear is required at a golf lesson, it’s not a bad idea to wear a baseball cap or a visor. This is especially true if your lesson is going to be outdoors. A quality cap or visor will keep both the sun and sweat out of your eyes.

2. Sunglasses

Again, sunglasses aren’t essential but they are nice to have on extremely sunny days at the driving range. I don’t wear sunglasses during my golf lessons because I feel it messes with my depth perception when looking at the ball. That said, a countless number of golfers wear sunglasses both on the course and during their golf lessons.

3. Golf Glove

This one is an essential item because you want to have a good grip on the golf club. During a golf lesson, your golf instructor will be asking you to make several swings. Without a quality golf glove, you’ll likely get an uncomfortable blister or two.

4. Sunscreen

It always pays to have sunscreen in your golf bag, especially during the warmer months. A nasty sunburn is not only incredibly painful but it’s also unhealthy for your skin.

5. Sweaters or Jackets

Either of these will come in handy during the winter months. You don’t want to get too cold on the driving range during your golf lesson. Just make sure that your sweater or jacket fits loosely and doesn’t restrict your golf swing in any way.

6. Bottle of Water

Most golf lessons range from 30 minutes to an hour. You’ll want to have water on hand to stay hydrated during your breaks. The last thing you want is to start cramping up during your golf lesson because of dehydration.

7. A Couple of Golf Towels

It’s nice to keep a couple of golf towels on hand for your golf lessons. You can use one to wipe sweat from your head and arms and the other to clean off your irons after using them.

*Comparison vs. 2023 P·790 7 iron.

Optimized CG for Precision & DistanceA faster 4340M face, individual head optimization, and FLTD CG technology precisely position the center of gravity (CG), delivering increased carry distances with ideal launch and spin for improved gapping throughout the set.
In 2025, the long irons feature an even lower CG for enhanced launch and playability, while the scoring clubs have a higher CG to improve spin rates and control. FLTD CG strategically shifts the center of gravity from low in the long irons to progressively higher in the short irons for optimal performance.

Refined Aesthetics & Turf InteractionThe all-new P·790 boasts a thinner topline for a cleaner look at address and an increased sole radius with a progressive leading edge. This design enhances turf interaction and promotes more consistent impact locations.

PING G440 Custom Irons

The G440 iron is a distance-driven design that best fits golfers in need of game-improvement technology who prefer the influence of a players-style shape. Increased ball speed comes from the thinner face and the low/back CG location – resulting in higher- launching, longer-carrying shots with stopping power.
FAST AND FORGIVING
Thinner face flexes for more ball speed, saves weight to increase MOI.
LOW CG SYSTEM
Shorter face lowers CG for more ball speed, higher launch.
