About Nancy Berkley

See articles I have written on After a law and business career, I returned to a golf - a game I learned at the University of Minnesota For over a decade I have written about women's golf as an advocate for growing the number of women golfers and the quality of their experience. I interviewed hundreds of female and male golfers, golf professionals and golf course managers for the research required for books that I have authored and articles I have written that explore the challenges and best practices that promote a better experience for women golfers. I have access to important research conducted by the major golf research organizations about participation by women and men (including juniors) golfers. I have extensive experience in understanding what golf facilities should do to establish a women-friendly environment - a facility where women feel that women's golf is important and where they feel they are treated fairly. I am an advocate for changes that may need to be made at golf facilities and within the golf industry so that women have opportunities to enjoy the game in much the same way that men have traditionally enjoyed it - inspite of the statistics that show that women represent only about 20% of golfers in the U.S. My goal is more women playing more golf - and junior girls, too. Specialties: expertise in what makes a golf facility "women-friendly" where women feel welcome and where they have access to the course and lessons and where they have the opportunity for the type of golf experience they seek whether recreational/social or competitive or both.
