Nancy Quarcelino School of Golf - Blog

The big push in golf right now is to get more women playing the game. Do you know why?  Women are the buyers and decision makers for most of the purchases in the household.  Guys, if you want to play more golf, get your wives and girlfriends out on the golf course!

The PGA of America has had promotions throughout the years to get more people playing golf.  The Nancy Quarcelino School of Golf recognizes the need of more women playing the game. We have had the leading women’s beginner program in the Nashville, TN area for over 15 years.

 “Get Golf Ready” is a program offered by the PGA of America, designed to teach you the game of golf in five short lessons.  At the Nancy Quarcelino School of Golf, we are committing to be with you ALL SUMMER LONG! 

Our Women’s Beginner Golf Program is “Get Golf Ready” approved by the PGA.  This year we are introducing an exciting new format which we believe is the most innovative program ever to be offered for anyone wanting to learn to play the game of golf!

Because of the economy, we are seeing more families get involved in golf. That is certainly not a headline that you will read about in the golf trade magazines or even hear about on the Golf Channel. 

Think about it this way and it will make sense. If men want to continue to play as much golf as they have in the past, they must include the family in order to be able to justify the expense. In most cases the woman of the household has a big say in controlling expenses.  Therefore; many men are getting their families involved in golf so that they can spend more time at the course as well.

Golf courses are much more open to women playing at their facilities now more than ever before.  Because rounds are down overall, many welcome women with open arms and want them to play.  Golf needs players.  Golf is not gender specific.  Your money is welcome there.

But, women are not good about spending money on themselves when it comes to golf. They will buy new clubs for their kids and their husbands, but not for themselves.  If you are playing clubs that are over three years old, you are not taking advantage of the new technology.  Get your clubs tested.  Yes, you are good enough to see a difference between older clubs and the newest technology.

Unfortunately, we still see a discrepancy in clubs for women. It is better now than it was even five years ago, but sometimes when you go to demo days or even in to golf pro shops and see the lack of women’s clubs; your voice needs to be heard.  If there is not a good selection to choose from let the powers that be know about it.

There are golf courses, off-course golf shops and instructors willing and ready to take care of you.  Women are loyal customers.  You like to shop where someone knows you and listens to your needs.  That is why we are here for you.  Come out and let us take care of you and your family.
