I typically play courses which range from 5800-6400 yds from the white tee's, anything longer than that & i'm not usually having a good time. I don't pound the ball 280+yds, not even on the net:beach3: & like you prefer to keep it in play.

I would think that an welcoming, accepting attitide towards women being there would be priority one. Granted, there are going to be a few *******s just about anywhere but, it is important that women feel welcome. I don't know how many times I have gone somewhere and heard some jerk complaining about women playing. As long as players are considerate and move a long if a hole starts taking too long, what difference should it make?
I want to also say that I play with a lot of golfers who happen to be women and they can hold their own against just about anybody. I didn't mean to come off sounding like only women hold people up on the course because that is FAR from true. Inconsiderate people back up golf courses.
My best golfing buddy and I shot a best ball 68 one day and lost 1 down to two of the better women golfers in our area. It was one of the best, most fun matches I have ever played.[/Q
Well your capp is 5.1 so your not looking for many balls in the woods.lol
Well, I've just spent the last while reading all these posts and I want to thank you all for your humor and good ideas too. Lots of great thoughts (and some silly comments that just add to the jocularity and are fun).
One thing that did surprise me, however, was the walking aspect. You know...every woman I play with prefers to walk the course. I never thought about that before, but in hindsight, it's true. Hmmm...
Also, the whole par 3 executive discussion was great and IMHO, it is not just about women. We could all use some good par 3 golf courses to practice our short games. There are so few up where I live and the ones that are there are full of non-golfers. It's painful to go there and wait 10 minutes on every hole. I wish there were more par 3's designed for real golfers to work on the toughest part of our games.
Thanks everyone!

One thing I forgot to add, plenty of wildlife. Our home course has lots of geese and turtles. My love seems unable to refrain from making comments about how pretty or how cute they are, and seems to always do it right in the middle of my swing, :faintthud
