"TEE-IT FORWARD" -- MAKING GOLF EASIER AND MORE FUN IN LESS TIME -- WILL IT HELP???  See ARTHUR AND JANN'S STUDIES ON www.golfwithwomen.com.  The website promotes women's golf and is published by two experts:  Arthur Little and his wife Jann Lemming who used their own golf course to validate their theories.  Prominent among their suggestions is making the forward tees much much shorter.  They site the new 4200 yard set of tees at the Old MacDonald course at Bandon Dunes.  Sad but true, Golfer Girl Magazine will no longer be published.  See the website http://www.golfergirlmagazine/ .com which will remain on online and will archive former issues.  All of the back issues are on line and girls and their parents will enjoy reading all the fun articles.   I was proud to be chairman of the Advisory Board and to worked withe the Hooton family for the past several years.  (More will follow about how Libby, Courtney and Chloe Belle are doing). Rule 6:  Provide free rental equipment if you are starting a program for beginners.  Remember:  You can use the Free Help Line to ask Nancy a question about your advertising It's that time of year, whether north, south, east west when another "season" of women's golf begins at most golf clubs.  This is your chance to get involved and make your opinions known.  I get quite a few "Dear Nancy" emails that complain that their golf professionals are just not interested in increasing the number of women golfers.  Don't tolerate it. There are only a handful of courses in the entire country that are so financially secure that they do not have to worry about more rounds and lessons.... and your course is probably not one of them.  My advice is to form a small group of about three women that other women respect and take your grievances "higher."    Yes, go over the head of the golf pro to the manager of club president.  If you don't have a women's golf group helping plan tournaments, this is the year to start one - officially or unofficially.  THIS WEBSITE IS ALWAYS BEING UPDATED, AND YOUR SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.  IT IS A COMPREHENTISVE WEBSITE THAT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND HOW TO REACH THE WOMEN'S GOLF MARKET.   Berkley Golf Consulting, Inc.
