FOR WOMEN WHO ARE GOING PLACES.
Power belongs on the fairway too.Women are moving into more senior positions, building bigger businesses, managing significant clients and taking greater roles in shaping the future of business.Yet there's an arena where many still hesitate to step in.The golf course.Not because they aren't capable.Because nobody ever showed them how to use it.Golf and Talk exists to change that.We help ambitious women move beyond simply learning golf to understanding the power, access and opportunity the game can provide.
Getting Women into golf is only the beginning
Women's golf is growing.Clubs are running beginner programs. More women are taking lessons. More women are discovering the game.That's a great start.I'm interested in what happens after that.Does she stay?Does she progress from the range onto the course?Does she get her handicap?Does she enter the competition?Does she accept the corporate invitation?Does she play with people better than her?Does she start inviting clients?Does she discover the networks, relationships and opportunities that exist around the game?Or does she remain on the edges of golf, waiting until she feels "good enough"?
Getting her into golf is one thing. Helping her discover her power in it is another THAT'S GOLF AND TALK
We Got the Memo.
Women need more confidence.Lean in.Speak up.Back yourself.Find a mentor.Get another qualification.Attend another leadership program.We got the memo.I've got three degrees.And none of them make me feel quite as powerful as standing on a tee and absolutely smashing a drive.Or as accomplished in the moment as standing over a putt, committing to it and watching the bloody thing drop.There's a difference between being told you're capable and experiencing your own capability.Golf gives you that experience over and over again.Commit.Take the shot.Deal with the result.Go again.And every now and then...Absolutely f&%king nail it.
BUT THE REAL POWER OF GOLF GOES FURTHER.
Golf has been part of business for generations. There's a reason.
- It creates access.
- Clients.
- Prospects.
- Senior executives.
- Business owners.
Decision-makers.Four hours together.Relationships develop differently when there's no boardroom table between you.People talk.Ideas surface.
Introductions happen.Business gets discussed.Opportunities emerge.Not every round produces a deal.That's not the point.
Being there creates possibility.
And if we're serious about seeing more women leading businesses, winning clients, building companies and shaping industries, then more women need to feel comfortable in the formal and informal arenas where influence is built.The golf course is one of them.
STAND IN YOUR POWER ON THE FIRST TEE. NOT JUST IN THE OFFICE.
You can manage hundreds of people.Carry a multimillion-dollar target.Negotiate contracts.Present to a board.Build a company.Then stand beside three experienced golfers and suddenly:"Sorry, I'm terrible.""Sorry, you'll have to put up with me.""I'm probably not good enough to be here."Before you've even hit the ball.
Your capability didn't disappear.The arena changed.
And when women feel inexperienced, some very familiar behaviours can appear.Over-apologising.Comparing.Rushing.Playing down what we know.Going quiet.Turning one mistake into shame.Not asking.Not saying what we want.Not taking up quite as much space.Golf has an extraordinary way of exposing it.And an equally extraordinary way of giving us somewhere to practise doing it differently.
