Start Here: Begin Your Golf Journey with Confidence.

Last Updated on June 22, 2025 by Jenni

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. So, Start Here: Begin Your Golf Journey With Confidence.

If you’re a woman who’s curious about golf — or just getting started — you’re in exactly the right place.

What’s In The Golf Bag, Girls? is a beginner-friendly golf blog created especially for women who want to learn how to play golf with confidence, ease, and enjoyment — no matter your age, experience, or fitness level.

Whether you’ve never picked up a golf club or you’re a few lessons in, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

Why I Created This Blog.

I started this site because I’ve been where you are.

Golf was not something I grew up with — in fact, I didn’t take up the sport until later in life. But once I did, I fell in love with the game… and learned a lot along the way (including a few hard lessons at the driving range!).

Fortunately for me, My husband, Rick, was an avid golfer of many years standing and he was able to guide my golf journey. Not everyone has a “Rick” in their life.

So, now, I’m passionate about helping other women get started with the right information, equipment, and support — without feeling overwhelmed.

What You’ll Find Here.

Because I now feel confident on the golf course and remember well what it was like to be a beginner, I wanted to research and write a blog that is dedicated to making golf approachable and fun for beginners, especially women.

Therefore, if you’re just getting started, you’ll find some useful and practical tips here, as well as some fun ones:

Beginner Guides — How to start playing, understanding the rules, choosing an instructor.
Equipment Advice — Golf balls, clubs, and gear reviews for women just starting out.
Golf Tips & Etiquette — Swing basics, terminology, and how to feel comfortable on the course,
Encouragement — Realistic advice, personal stories, and practical support as you improve.
Reviews — Product suggestions based on my own experience (you’ll always know when a link is an affiliate).

Where To Begin.

To help you get started, I recommend beginning with these popular posts:

In addition to these, you’ll also find posts that will guide you in a range of matters. We’ll talk about your first time at the driving range (this is an important part of learning to golf).

You’ll also need to know how to avoid common beginner mistakes and why are the men’s and women’s golf games and equipment so different. Then there’s information on what to wear for your first time on the golf course, and even more.

As you browse through this blog and take action, I hope you will become enlightened and learn to love golf as I do.

My Promise to You.

Golf can feel intimidating at first – I know it did for me. But I promise you this: Here, there’s no judgement, no pressure, and no “one-size-fits-all” advice. Just real, practical tips to help you feel confident, have fun, and love your golf journey.

Ready? Then Let’s Tee Off!

So if you’ve been wondering where to begin, this is it.

Start here. Begin your journey. And welcome to the fairway!
