Well, you are mostly right. The two main types of female golfers I have met are the social and the competitive.
The social golfer enjoys the whole event, the ride to the golf course, the lovely vista of the course, the alligators in the water, the sandhill cranes wandering around. Enjoys the good conversation, admires the coordinated golf dresses the ladies are wearing. Celebrates all good shots, whoever makes it, in her group. Stories and drinks after the game, laughter, and a stuffed large blue bird awarded to the one who got the most birdies. Etc.
The competitive lady golfer is more interested in strictly the game itself, her score, her technique, her concentration, is she in “the zone”? How is she doing compared to the others? Compared to yesterday? What is her standing?
I used to be a competitive athlete in other sports not golf, and it was good fun, I never went pro, but now, retired, I prefer to enjoy the game of golf holistically.
