Fancy ladies of business: Do you suffer from headaches because you’re always accidentally bumping your heads against the glass ceiling? Well, the good news is that there might be away for you to break through it once and for all. The bad news is that the way to do that is by learning how to pay golf. Booooooo.
It’s a long-held tradition of business men to meet and make deals on the golf course and while the business world on the whole has become increasingly gender diverse, the putting green continues to be a male dominated space. For example, practically 95% of the members of the Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) are male. Also relevant: when the SCGA asked its 150,00 members to rank why golf is important to them, the professional benefits were among the top reasons listed. This means that women who decline to play golf are at a major disadvantage when compared to their male colleagues who are bonding, making connections and doing business while teeing off.
