What are the differences between Men and Ladies Golf Tournaments?
406354
Men and Ladies tournaments both play 18 holes over 4 rounds for a total of 72 holes. The main difference is that the courses during ladies tournaments tend to be shorter, and in some instances the ladies use different tee positions from the men which are nearer to the hole.

Golf courses offer grown men a chance to act like kids.  Golf is the adult version of that old grade school favorite, dodgeball.  I don't mean they are hitting balls at each other, but they are deciding who is "in" and who is "out".  If you aren't rich you are automatically "out".  A golf course is the "frat house" for grownups.  It is a place to tell tall tales and get each other with juvenile pranks and hijinks.  It is a place where bragging is excused, but humility never tolerated.  Most of all it is a place where it is socially acceptable to get plastered in the middle of the day.  An executive wouldn't be caught dead in a bar before 4:00 pm, but if he's hitting a little round white ball around, that's considered career advancement so bring on the refreshment cart, and if it doesn't get here fast enough, I've got a flask in my bag.  All in all I would say a golf courses' main benefit is it allows old men to be kids again as they drive their toy cars and carry big sticks.

It seems like only men play golf because you rarely see women golfing on TV. And, women just don't play golf in numbers in the USA like in other parts of the world. For example, golf in Asia very popular among both men and women.

Women Physically in a sport on the average are not even close in performance to men. (Beyond Puberty)\nIt a simple fact of testosterone and muscle mass.\nTo say they are equal is silly.\nTo play them against each other is a very boring day for the bookies and the players, and potentially injurious to females.\nThere has to be a handicap or segregation or it simply isn't fun or fair to women.\nI'm not a misogynist. You just have to face reality.\nWomen are better and worse at some things because nature gives then different hormones and physic.

Yes. The competition is fiercer. And Women have mixed emotions. Don't let them drag you down. Ignore any hint of an insult. It's just the competitve nature of humans.

A woman should be able to use the same clubs a man can. They come in all shapes lengths and wieghts. Try having a look at http://golf.hammocksurvivalguide.com/ for some really good articles on golf.

here's the deal.. guys compete with eachother at sports, women compete at who can look the best (generalization of corse).. so women are more catty at least toward eachother.

There used to be a Tour Feminin back in the 1980s. It was contested by national teams, and was run concurrently with the last two weeks of the men's Tour on parts of the same courses (over greatly reduced distances).\n\nEventually, it moved to a separate date on the calendar. It's now held at the end of June, prior to the start of the men's Tour.

'We should complain' - that is all I ever hear from lady golfers.  Complaining about being held up by male golfers - even though the ladies play only half the course!!!!!!

Did the word "golf" originate as an acronym for "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden"? That's a common old wives' tale. Or, in this case, more likely an old husband's tale.\n\nNo, "golf" is not an acronym for "gentlemen only, ladies forbidden." If you've ever heard that, forget it immediately. Better yet, find the person who told you and let them know it's not true.\n\nLike most modern words, the word "golf" derives from older languages and dialects. In this case, the languages in question are medieval Dutch and old Scots.\n\nThe medieval Dutch word "kolf" or "kolve" meant "club." It is believed that word passed to the Scots, whose old Scots dialect transformed the word into "golve," "gowl" or "gouf."\n\nBy the 16th Century, the word "golf" had emerged.\n\nDon't believe anyone that says it stands for gentleman only, ladies forbidden. I did a whole report on the history of golf so I know.

In general, the difference is the length of the shaft and the angle of the face of the club.  The lower the number, the longer the shaft and the more upright the face.  Higher number clubs are shorter and have a more angular face.\n\nThis results in longer shots for the smaller numbered irons (2, 3, 4), because more of the swing goes into pushing the ball down the course.  It also results in more accurate shots on the higher number irons (8, 9, pitching wedge), because the shorter shaft is more controllable.\n\nThis is also true for woods, where the smaller numbered ones tend to hit the ball further (the driver is actually the #1 wood), while higher numbered woods hit the ball shorter but more accurately.  The difference is that any particular wood will generally hit the ball a lot further than the same numbered iron.

Girls should be allowed to do anything that guys can do.  But I think that splitting them up in two leagues would be best.  it is like the PGA and LPGA.  There will be a couple of girls thaat can beat the men, but for the most part it would be a little unfair.

I guess it's because Women’s soccer in the US is more developed (like in the nordic markets in EU) compared to the half hearted attempt at getting the US mens game up to the same level\n\nFact, the US Women’s team have won their version of the world cup and the man's equiv have won diddly squat

Steel shafts are good if you are average male player.  Usually only women pros or very good women golfers use thems.  You can get them in various flexes..men will use more stiff shafts an women use steel shafts that have more flex in them.  Graphites are usually more whippy and generates more club head spead and is used more by women, older men or those who want a more flexible shaft to gain distance.  If you are a serious golfer and got the money, than you can go with the platanium shafts or the newer type of metal shafts.  Have your swing checked out at a golf store that can tell you what type would be best for you.

Women learn faster than men, that is a fact. Women stay focused on learning how to drive because they want to learn to be independent. Men, on the other hand,  focus more on the women who walk down the street while being taught to drive than learning how to drive. They can't stay focused on their driving. Women rule the world, I thought you already knew that.
