Duca Del Cosma Olivera 2 Women’s Shoe Review

1 week ago | golfmonthly.com | Katie Dawkins

Duca Del Cosma Olivera 2 Women’s Shoe dealsThe Olivera is a sassy looking shoe and would sit happily in a classy Milan fashion boutique with fashionistas completely unaware that this is in fact an undercover high performing golf shoe! It just looks so darn good, so much so they are competing for the top spot when it comes to the best women's golf shoes out there right now. Let’s first focus on the looks and admit that this is one beautiful shoe.

Skechers GoGolf Jasmine 2 Women’s Shoe dealsSkechers first launched the GoGolf collection in 2018 with style and performance in mind. The GoGolf Jasmine 2 shoes are Skechers answer to comfort and traction and really fit the bill when it comes to all round great shoes. The 100% waterproof synthetic upper really does feel and look like you’re slipping on a pair of marshmallows (in the most athletic sense of course) that will help you float around the golf course.
Women’s Football Is Waking Up - Now It’s Golf’s Turn To Act And Normalize Periods

2 weeks ago | golfmonthly.com | Katie Dawkins

The world of sport is waking up to women. Being a woman and succeeding in the field that you specialise in throws up so many challenges, whether it’s on the athletics track, the stock exchange, or on the golf course. Women’s football is taking on these challenges and golf can learn a huge amount from the likes of Arsenal and Persil’s hard-hitting campaign, which acknowledges and normalizes a sportswoman’s menstrual cycle.
I’m A PGA Golf Coach - Here's Why I Made Sure My Kids Can Play Golf

1 month ago | golfmonthly.com | Katie Dawkins

I promised myself that when I was a parent I’d never force my children to play any sport or musical instrument they didn’t want to play. However, I am a firm believer that every child should be given the gift of swimming and the gift of golf. Why golf? If your child can hit a ball and knows the basic fundamentals to enjoy a variation of the sport then you are giving them the gift of a lifetime amongst so many other skills. Swimming is life saving. Golf is life enhancing.
Tee Box Inequality: Why Aren't All Tees Rated For Women?

1 month ago | golfmonthly.com | Katie Dawkins

I hit a decent ball off the tee and as a result I often tee off further back than the forward tees. I want to land my ball and see it roll down the fairway. I don’t want to have to opt for a 7-iron off the tee as I often run out of fairway with my driver from forward tees. In my opinion, many forward tees are simply positioned in the wrong place for a long-hitting woman (and most are in the wrong position for a shorter hitter too, but that’s another story).
The One Mental Mistake Pro Golfers Never Make - Are You Guilty Of It?

2 months ago | golfmonthly.com | Katie Dawkins

As the season warms up, many amateur golfers will ponder where it all went wrong last year… What was the worst part, what was unfair and why didn't things go their way? Reflecting on seasons gone by, or even your previous round, is all very well, and we can learn so much about what areas of our game needs improving. But often the art of letting go of the past and focusing on the present is what is really important if your golf is to improve.
The Must-Try Drill That Helped Ernie Els Perfect His Ball Striking (And It Can Work For You)

2 months ago | golfmonthly.com | Michael A. Weston |Katie Dawkins

Ernie Els is without question one of the game's best ball strikers of all time. You don't win four Major Championships without being a very strong iron player, but the South African was particularly good in this department - as clean a ball-striker as you could ever wish to see. Although we're all capable of striking one out of the middle, it's the consistency that most amateur golfers lack.
Why Pay More? 7 DIY Golf Training Aids That Actually Work

I’m a huge fan of up-cycling and utilising objects that you already own to help improve your game. There are plenty of household items that will help you hit it further and more consistently, as well as lower your score on the green. Here are some of my favourites. Sock It To ThemIf you are prone to an overswing then this sock drill will help. You may think it odd that a sock can improve your action, but it’s really effective in eliminating collapsed arms and engaging your core.

Feb 13, 2025 | golfmonthly.com | Katie Dawkins

The women’s team at Golf Monthly often find themselves as a solo female in a fourball at an industry event. We are a rare guest within a group of golfers who sometimes have no idea how to behave. Let’s remember that through circumstances many men have never played golf with a woman,The round often begins and ends with loads of assumptions and hiccups, which are usually unintended, but many have an air of casual sexism.
