Why is it that girls are so slow at golf?

Question

its annoying not all girls but the majority are slow as h**l but if good looking i will allow it and will play with them no matter how slow lol

Answer 1

salmonbellies16 mentioned women will play by the rules. One of the biggest is women will obey and watch for signs that say cart path only. We have two holes (par 4 and par 50) on the course I play a lot that are cart path only. Nearly every male on the course ignores the sign.

The biggest thing is women don't hit a far even if they hit from the forward tee so it takes longer to get to the green. I find I wait more behind men than I do women because they think they had hit farther and hit from the wrong tee for them. Also, men will take 4-5 practice swings before they hit. So women are not the only ones playing slow.

Answer 2

actually they play faster than men do , rarely miss the fairway , keep the ball in play , will let faster groups through , have better on course behavior than males , respect the course , better ettiqute, repair ball marks left by males , replace diviots left by males , pick up litter , left by males and place it litter containers . then have the courtsey to report a potetial problem to green supertendent , woman players  a foursome versus men of equal handicaps will do the above , and finish the round in less time than the men . plus they post accurate scores without a foot wedge , and ladies know the rules , and respect the employees of the club . women in the clubhouse laugh , men snivvle about there score , blame everybody but themselves , will not allow juniors to play with them . i have seen it for years .

Answer 3

I've never noticed this

Answer 4

I golf at a local golf course, and when I am on the range and see a woman golfer, they usually go sloooow on their back-swing, hold their club up in the air for a couple seconds, then swing (after they lost all their muscle memory already) and top the ball, while their husband (supposedly teaching her, when in reality he is hitting golf balls himself with his back turned to her) is whacking them 200 yards.

A lot of women are good at golf though and I am positive that they have better manners, because their women.  You have to realize that women will have the best edicut on any sport...

The sad thing is, I pick up litter, repair ball marks, don't shave strokes (even in meets).  Am I a woman? OH NO!

P.S. Salmon: Stereotyping men as pigs who argue about scores and leave divots and litter is just as bad as the original question.

Answer 5

if they're into fashion and makeup and that c**p then they r usually stupid and slow with golf.  I'm a girl and not slow...

Answer 6

Not all men do as salmonbe said but maybe most

Answer 7

i think i agree with above answer .

Answer 8

It's harder for them. They have a difficult time with the swing.

Not to different from guys who are new to the game. It's not easy.

Answer 9

haha, good question.

I have never really noticed it. Every weekend, me and some of my friends play in a group before my dad and brothers. Its  a good pace and we usually get done 30 - 45 mins before my dad and brothers, and they have been playing longer than me.

I guess it depends on how experienced the girl golfer is. There is this one girl who is trying out for our golf team and it took her and her dad an hour and a half to play the first 2 holes! So then I went to the driving range with her and I was all the way through my bucket of balls and she was only like 1/4 of the way through hers.

Our girls golf team played against our boys golf team a couple weeks ago and our pace of play was the same.

I don't know... lol. I was playing with some guys a couple weeks ago and I was done with every hole before them and it took us like 3 and a half hours to play 9 holes and I was going crazy so I left and let them finish the back 9.

Answer 10

Why don't you ask Ben "Slow Train" Crane that question? Rory Sabbitini knows the answer!
