For many years I’ve felt that the amateurs who I play golf with have a total disconnect with the women’s professional game. They never talk about watching LPGA tournaments, there’s no excitement around the women’s Majors like we get from The Masters or The Open Championship in the men’s game. They seldom mention an impressive shot they’ve seen played by an LPGA Tour player, or an exciting climax to an event - any golf chat is always centred around the men’s game.
While some women can name one or two leading players, like home-grown talents Charley Hull and Georgia Hall, who have achieved incredible success in the last decade, when it comes to naming other LPGA tour stars the knowledge is shamefully lacking.
