Because GCSAA supports myriad efforts from the golf industry and community to attract more diverse population of golfers, I take note of new programs or services that encourage a minority demographic to take up the game of golf.
Donna Hoffman is spearheading one of those efforts. She's on a mission to get more women into golf. Hoffman founded Women on Course, a program currently in 20 cities that provides a social platform for women to meet other women who have someone in common -- a love of golf. Women on Course events include golf events, happy hours, fashion shows, guest speakers, instruction and more to help attract females ranging from avid golfers to newbies to the game and introduce them to all the networking and social benefits of golf. Take a look at the Web site of the program, which is membership-based, for details on dozens of events coming up in cities across the U.S.
