Golf Balls – Ladies Golf Balls Miss the Spot

Ladies who play golf have more balls to juggle than men.

Ladies golf

Golf is still in many ways a male sport. As it originated centuries ago in Scotland, it’s easy to see why it has been harder, especially in the United Kingdom, to shake off the gender bias. But more and more women are becoming higher profile in ladies golf and know where to hit the balls to put them on the sporting map.

Juggling golf balls

However, the sport has kept up with the times and recognises that women who play ladies golf professionally have many balls to juggle – including family life and their careers. But despite the fact crèche facilities are provided, they are rarely used – so few have children. In stark contrast to the ladies golf, men’s golf tournaments often use the crèche -  with household names such as Nick Faldo, Colin Montgomery, Darren Clarke and Ian Woosnam all visiting the crèche before they head off to hit their golf balls.

Golf career

It is nothing new that women have a lot of balls they need to juggle in life, even more so today than ever, which might explain why ladies golf players aren’t using the crèche as much as the men.
Perhaps this is a symptom of how hard it is for women to maintain a career in ladies golf, while raising a family – it’s hard to concentrate on hitting golf balls unless there is a supportive partner to help out.
This is a scenario that isn’t new; it is common in business where bringing up children is never straightforward when it comes to negotiating or maintaining a career. Ladies golf players have the same balls to juggle.

Sport for athletes

As golf becomes more of an athletic sport for the men and ladies who play as professionals, hitting the golf balls demands players stay in optimum physical shape – not an option if you are pregnant.
Ladies golf players including Marie Wernestrom and Sophie Gronberg have all pondered whether they can cope with juggling the many balls of family life and career.
And many ladies are forced to consider either postponing hitting the golf balls indefinitely to bring up a family, or postponing having children till later in life – neither option is ideal.
