HOW can women transition into different careers in the golf industry? Is coaching still the vanguard for helping people enjoy the sport? What opportunities and challenges are there for women within golf?
We’ve got two of golf’s most prominent female professionals to help answer these questions and more on this month’s episode of The GBQ Podcast.
Lynn McCool has spent more than a quarter of a century as a PGA Professional. She has served as Head Professional and Director of Golf at a series of high-profile Irish clubs before becoming General Manager at Donegal late last year. She is also a committee member of the Women’s Professional Golfers’ Association, established to represent the interests of female pros across the globe.
Deana Rushworth is one of the UK’s highest profile women’s coaches. She is an Advanced PGA Professional, a fixture of golf media instructional content, and has spent more than a decade as Head Professional at Witney Lakes, in Oxfordshire.
Hosted by Sky Sports Golf presenter Sarah Stirk, each month The GBQ Podcast brings you in-depth interviews and provides genuine analysis around the most important topics facing the golf industry.
Our aim is to ensure you hear from the people that matter as we talk with the game’s influential figures.
Lynn and Deana are ideally placed to talk about the landscape of women’s golf within the professional game, how the WPGA can provide support and guidance, and the path ahead as female professionals diversify into different roles across the industry.
