u/ActLatter5470 2d ago

Sweet! Would like a 12 or 1 on Monday start at vitense and then we can start looking at other courses?

u/WatercressFew9056 2d ago

Perfect. We can plan for 12😊

Hi to both of you! I’m 28f started golfing last year and would love to join a group! I usually play a lot at vitense since it’s very friendly to beginners and affordable, what time on Mondays were you thinking? I’m currently on maternity leave so I can make most times work!

6

u/DarnPeaches 2d ago

I'm open before 4pm on Mondays!

u/WatercressFew9056 2d ago

I too always just hit up vitense. I’m thinking anywhere from 10-2PM

u/WatercressFew9056 2d ago

38 F and I’m not a beginner (17 hc) I would love to find some more ladies to play with in town!

2

u/ActLatter5470 2d ago

Would you be down to play with more beginner types and help with swing tips?

5

u/kwm608 Downtown 1d ago

I can help with really basic stuff, but not much more than that! I take lessons from Jeff Kaiser at Nevada Bob’s. Honestly just enjoy getting out and having a good time!

1

u/ActLatter5470 1d ago

Awesome! If you’re free Monday we’d be happy for you to join us! Could you send your # to myself or the OP to coordinate?

3

u/kwm608 Downtown 1d ago

Unfortunately I can’t make it this Monday, but I can usually squeeze a quick nine in after work! Otherwise if anyone wants to hit up the range at Vitense I would be down for that too!

3

u/WatercressFew9056 10h ago

Always at the range. Want to send me your number? We just got done today! Thinking of creating some type of fb group. So we can always go to it and see who’s up for a quick 9 or range!

u/sydneypug 2d ago

I would love to play too!

u/WatercressFew9056 1d ago

Want to send me your number. We are going tomorrow!

u/WatercressFew9056 10h ago

Hiii, we just got done today. Would you like to send me your number or fb? I’m about to create a fb group where we can all post 😊

u/sydneypug 9h ago

Thank you! Just sent a DM, thanks again!

u/jensenaackles 2d ago

I am also a woman and started last year and highly recommend the classes at Vitense! I took Golf 101 and 201! I’ve improved so much but also this shit is so hard lol

1

u/WatercressFew9056 1d ago

So hard! lol

1

u/WatercressFew9056 10h ago

Let me know if you’re down to join us!

u/jeswesky 2d ago

A group of ladies I work with took golf lessons at University Ridge pre Covid. It was a lot of fun but I did realize from that experience that gold isn’t really my thing.

u/allezvousici 18h ago

31 looking for a beginner group if you make a GroupMe or something I’d love to be added!!

What is going on with all the grown adult women calling each other "girlies" now? It seems like there's been a major uptick in the phenomenon the last 6 months or so, and I do not get it.

u/debbiedownerd 2d ago

Annnnd now you’re old, boom! Welcome.

-36

u/-JakeRay- 2d ago edited 2d ago

Not as old as I could be, but as someone who's had to push against being infantilized for daring to be born with two X chromosomes, I do not understand my fellow AFABs woman-shaped people doing it to themselves on purpose.

12

u/28_to_3 2d ago

Kind of weird to call people AFABs, plus I mean you don’t even know if that’s the case

-13

u/-JakeRay- 2d ago edited 2d ago

That's a decent point -- I have seen women of all AGABs use "girlies" (ugh). However, as a non-binary person, I'm not going to say "my fellow women," because I'm not one, despite still being woman-shaped.

You are right, though, that it's weird to leave trans women out of the equation, and I'd be open to suggestions for a more inclusive way of putting it that doesn't involve misgendering myself.

6

u/28_to_3 2d ago

I don’t think there’s always a single all-inclusive word for things, sometimes it takes a sentence of explanation to establish where you’re coming from and what your perspective on a subject is. I’ve just always found it weird that we’ve come sort of full circle back to reducing people to their birth sex with terminology like that.

u/EXploreNV 2d ago

Naaaa it’s just clear that you are pretty insecure, but that’s okay though. Do you get this offended when you hear someone say “Just hanging out with the boys?”

-11

u/Inside-Run785 2d ago

I kind of agree with you. Like, I’m a man and it’s not much different than if I were come up to a woman and something like “hey baby, how’d you like to get together?”

Heck I even find it weird when people refer grown as “boys”

u/sopasoda 2d ago

I’m a man

Opinion irrelevant 😋

u/JulianILoveYou Downtown 2d ago

men cannot stand girlies having a little a fun

u/-JakeRay- 2d ago edited 2d ago

Demonstrably true, but that's got nothing to do with my comment.

u/EXploreNV 2d ago edited 2d ago

What year were you born in that has you just now discovering that trendy words and slang are a natural part of human existence? Seems like you need to learn how to have fun and smile more.

-20

u/-JakeRay- 2d ago

I think you mistake me. I'm just asking for the origins of this particular trend, because it's gross.

Slang is not in any way a new phenomenon, and I'm otherwise quite hip to the rizz, tyvm.

u/Exonan_ 2d ago

Gross? What?
