How to Start a Women’s League

“Since starting this website, I’ve received many requests from ladies wanting to learn “how to start a women’s league.” I have been a part of several women’s leagues, and, of course, have heard many great ideas that women use to in their leagues; so I created a list! Hopefully these tips can help you start up your very own women’s league in your area. A women’s league is a great way to get women to come out to the course in a positive, fun, and encouraging way seperate from the intimidation they may feel when playing with guys. If you have any helpful tips that you think I should add to the list Contact Us using the link at the bottom of the page.”

Your First Tournament

Congratulations on building up the nerves to play in your very first tournament! Whether you’re just playing for fun or you’re playing to win, there are a few things to know before your first tournament so that you, and your fellow players, have the best time out there!

Work with the TD to find the best fit for you and your competition level.
