As some the country’s best young female golfers tee it up this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky for the 2021 Girls Junior PGA Championship, they do so at a time when the game is as popular as it’s ever been among women. Despite that, golf is still largely a male dominated sport.

With that said, how do we continue to keep the momentum going with golf becoming more and more popular among girls, and more specifically, your own little female Linkster?

Understanding the following just may be the recipe to keep your daughter moving forward in the game…

Check out some of the best conversations between 5-time PGA TOUR winner Collin Morikawa and his caddie J.J. Jakovac through The Open Championship 2021. Listen in as they thoroughly discuss strategy and club selection prior to golf shots during tournament play.

Since the Amundi Evian Championship was established as a major on the LPGA Tour schedule in 2013, it is the one major championship that has eluded Inbee Park. That is something the 20-time LPGA winner hopes to change this week at Evian Resort Golf Club.

She does have a good history in Evian-les-Bains, France to build from. Park won this tournament in 2012 when it was known as the Evian Masters.

“That is definitely one thing I’ve always wanted to do. It became a major and they renovated the course, so we’re playing a little bit different of a course. Obviously, becoming a major, I want to win another Evian Championship,” said Park, a seven-time major champion. “I think it is a really good year to do it, as well, going into the Tokyo Olympics and the course is in really, really good shape.

Just this last weekend, we saw several examples of how developing and implementing a specific strategy led to success for the men at Royal St. George’s. Most who watch golf just assume the players are so good, they can just hit it where they want. Most of the time they can, but ALL players get nervous and therefore will favor a safer target in their strategy.

Having Trouble Reaching a Goal? Harness the Power of Phil Mickelson's Process
Ball striking will play just as important a part at this week’s Amundi Evian Championship as well, but believe it or not the champion on Sunday will be the woman who has the resilience to follow her plan of attack.

In this video, Neil Tappin is joined by rules guru, Jeremy Ellwood. Jezz sets 8 questions and offers multiple choice answers to see how well you know the rules of golf. How many will you get right?!

Everyone wants to hit the ball like a tour pro. This extends from booming drives to precisely struck, soaring iron shots that settle close to the pin.

That said, the irons TOUR pros play are rarely, if ever, the best-suited weapons for average amateurs as they wage war with old man par (as much as they attempt to convince themselves otherwise).

Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm, for example, play Callaway’s Apex TCB irons. At the “elite player” end of the Apex 21 cavity back iron spectrum, TCB (Tour Cavity Back), irons feature a more compact shape and TOUR pro-preferred look at address as well as a weighting system more conducive to the needs of the best golfers in the world.

Over the years, players have encountered countless awkward bunker shots and struggled to escape. Check out some of the best all-time “golf is hard” moments featuring tricky bunker shots on the PGA TOUR.

SANDWICH, England – Jordan Spieth says “living in the external” is where he belongs, and it was the key to an impressive start at The 149th Open.

The former FedExCup champion continued his return to form this season, putting everyone on notice at Royal St. George’s with a very tidy 5-under 65 during the early wave.

The 2017 Open champion sat just one off the pace set by 2010 champion Louis Oosthuizen as he relied on feel and instinct, much like he did in his giant-killing years of 2015-2017 that yielded 10 victories.

His mastery of the blustery winds on the seaside links course helped provide six birdies over his last 14 holes including a run of four straight on the front nine but perhaps more impressive than the birdie barrage was the mentality the 12-time PGA TOUR winner showcased post round.
