Women Business Networking & Restrictions

Some people face an unbeatable wall from golf networking. Based on the CSB News, “Women in business who don't know how to swing a golf club are whiffing on networking opportunities that could advance their careers.” Recently, more women and children were involved in golf. However, there are still more guys golfing on courses than women. For these reasons, men are more often invited to these golf networking opportunities than women. They are giving no chance to women who can’t play golf. Even though more women have been exposed to golfing recently, the situation hasn’t changed much. Based on my observations, the problem is similar in Korea and other countries. I have never seen my dad play golf with women's business partners. My dad is an active businessman who plays my rounds of golf with his companions, mostly guys. It could not be objective since it is not based on various data. However, I could get a sense of it. The reality and social stereotypes that remove women from networking opportunities are unfair—one of the reasons I want kids to be exposed to golf as kids. I am trying to make it fair for everyone by at least helping them get exposed to the sports. If more kids get exposed, they will have broader choices and experiences as they grow older.
