Ladies - have you had any success joining women's groups or meeting other women who golf/want to learn? Most of my friends are not interested and a lot of women at the club seem to have their own little cliques etc. Not sure what to do

I joined lpga am and found it very to be made up of the cliques as you mentioned. I’m in a great FB group (long island golf junkies) which doesn’t have a lot of women members, but the guys are very accepting and warm. I should note that I typically play w the guys anyway.

The country club I'm a member of has a small clique of older ladies that play on Tuesday mornings. Obviously, this doesn't work for anyone with an 8-5 M-F job. I pushed for a ladies' golf clinic in the evenings. Now we have a lot more women golfing! I created a group chat with everyone that attends the clinics. Even if we’re not close friends, it's nice to have people to play with.

Somewhat - I’ve been lucky to meet some women through friends of friends. Once you start talking to other women golfers, the network grows. I also met some women through clinics through my city courses.

Otherwise, I play with my husband and his colleagues/friends a lot.

Where are you located? I tried attending a few women’s clinics but was often the youngest by 25 years or so (not an issue) and they were all members to the course it was held at so I was a bit out of place. I did see that Spark golf has some leagues but haven’t tried those yet.

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended.

I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?
