A warm welcome to Ladies 4 Golf

We're not so much a club but a friendly network of ladies who enjoy golf and social activities in the Hampshire area.

Quite a number of our members also belong to traditional golf clubs but love being part of our golfing network as they can meet and mix with new ladies from different clubs and be part of a bigger golfing scene, including golfing holidays and short breaks.

New to Golf? We can put you in contact with other golfers which will help you to develop and grow your game. Whatever your golfing standard (let's face it we all have to start somewhere) you can be assured of a warm welcome.

Our club's friendly, informal so join today as it may just change your life.

Good golfing.

Ladies 4 Golf on BBC Radio Solent

From left to right: Annette. Sheila, Jane, Claire and Christine

Some of our Ladies4Golf Members appeared recently on the Katie Martin Show for BBC Radio Solent. Katie interviewed our ladies about our club and a barman made us lovely cocktails. They named one after us - the Fairway Fizz!

How to make a Fairway Fizz
50ml White Wine
8 fresh grapes
1/2 Lime
25ml elderflower cordial

Method: Muddle the grapes and lime until all the juice has been extracted. Add all the other ingredients and shake with ice. Serve in a wine glass with a sprig of mint. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!

The History of Ladies 4 Golf

I started Ladies4Golf in 2004, following my own entry into the game. I'd had a few lessons and could strike the ball a reasonable distance. Steve, my coach was extremely patient and very encouraging but I realised having lessons was the easy bit and the difficult part was going out onto a course as a complete novice. The experience was not dissimilar to driving a car for the first time without a driving instructor.

I didn't know anyone who would play with me so I managed to persuade some girlfriends to spare their golfing husbands for a few hours to venture out onto a golf course with me but I was sensitive borrowing friends husbands more than a couple of times!

By now I'd become addicted to the game but I couldn't face joining a traditional golf club whilst still doing air shots and zig zagging round the course. So, in desperation to continue playing my new found sport, I rang as many friends as possible and persuaded them to have lessons so we could learn and play together. It was from this small beginning, that Ladies4Golf was formed.

Over the years Ladies4Golf has grown considerably with many new members finding us and being welcomed into the club. Many of our beginners have gone on to join traditional golf clubs, gain handicaps and forged some lifelong friendships..

So, if you're looking for the opportunity to play with others to improve your game or just play with some sociable ladies then Ladies4Golf is perfect for you. At only £25 p.a. it could open up a whole new world.
