Golf has been a popular game for roughly two hundred years now, and recently more and more women have been trying the game. There are few differences between golf for men and women, although the few differences that there are can have a dramatic effect on the way the game is played. In this article, we'll take a brief look at some of these key differences and how they alter the game for women, as well as some ladies' golf tips that will help any woman step up her game a little bit.

Fortunately many golf brands, including Benross golf, are recognising the need for a female range of golf products.

Ladies' golf is generally quite similar to men's golf, although one of the key points of the game, the swing, is drastically different for women. Many instructors and videos designed to help people improve their swing are geared towards men, and the fact that women are shaped differently and have a different weight distribution than men means that a woman's golf swing will have to be slightly different than a man's. Working with a female instructor and finding the right kind of swing to suit your body type is a great way to give your game a boost, and you can even find ways to use your body to your advantage in a swing.

Women tend to be slightly shorter than men in general, and obviously this can affect the length of clubs you'll want to choose. This also means you might want to use slightly heavier clubs for a greater driving distance, however, since shorter clubs mean a smaller overall arc, thus giving the player less time to build momentum. Ladies' golf has four majors – the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the LPGA Tournament, the U.S. Women's Open, and the British Women's Open, although only the last of these four is recognized by the Ladies' European Tour. There are also a set of three majors for the Japanese LPGA, although these events attract little notice outside of Japan.

If you're looking to improve your game of ladies' golf, simply stop by your local pro shop and see if there is a female professional on staff. If there isn't, see if the resident trainers can help you with aspects of your game that are no different from those in men's games, such as chipping, putting, and overall strategy. There are lots of ways to improve your game, but ultimately it is up to the player to find them out.
