I believe one of the reason's is the lack of opportunities vs Men's golf. As an example. 25 years ago my wife passed away and she was devoted to the game of golf and loved it but there were few opportunities for women for significant women's only tournaments. There were many for the men including the Men's County Amateur which was very popular. I was able to get some women to help and I founded the Ladies County Amateur and have sponsored and supported it for the last 25 years. It provides women a platform for good players and regular players to compete on a more broad basis. Over the last 25 years it has also raised thousand's of dollars for Cancer research and gave some women the chance for College Scholarships which helped to continue to build the expansion of women's golf. My only point is the women have not had the same growth opportunities as the men.
