Women Golfers

Gone are the days when gold used to be a man's game. Times have changed and women golfers are increasingly becoming a part of the game. They are moving leaps and bounds to scale the same heights men have reached. The National Golf Foundation says that about one-third of new golfers are women. That is a good figure considering that the entry of women in the game has been recent. About 20 percent of the overall golf population is represented by women golfers which goes to show how much they are into the game and the number is only increasing.
