Golf "Girls"
In finding my way around the golf blogosphere I have found that women write some of the most interesting and readable blogs. Often sassy and frequently irreverent the self-described female golf addicts who pen (pen?) these blogs represent a great and often overlooked opportunity for the golf business. Tom Peters has argued for years that women represent one of the best, if not the best, untapped markets for all businesses. The Golf Girl and The Golf Chick write fun and often provocative posts on a wide range of golf issues; The Fairway Flapper seems to focus on products and services targeting women golfers (she gets it). A new site, definitely not for the meek and maybe not for kids (all these sites, like most women I know, treat adults like adults) is Chicks with Sticks whose author penned one of my favorite rejoinders to date. (I leave it to you to figure out which one.) I believe we need more variety and more points of view in order to grow golf. These distaff bloggers may not be to everyone's taste, but neither are Fuzzy, Phil, and Tiger.
BTW, I just stumbled upon Scot Duke's interesting Business Golf blog; he gets it too.
Hey, thanks for the mention. Nice blog you have here. Hope to try the Swing Station one of these days.
