DALLAS, February 13 2015 – ClubCorp – The World Leader in Private Clubs® (NYSE: MYCC) – is proud to announce its support in the development of GolfForHer.com, a new website from the World Golf Foundation designed to increase women’s participation in the game.
GolfForHer.com – for beginner, junior, recreational and competitive players – offers a wide range of content from golf programs, tips about rules of the game, etiquette and instruction to finding America’s best women-friendly courses and instructors, networking events and news updates from the world of women’s golf.
“Our clubs offer a variety of programming targeted to women golfers of every ability level,” said Cathy Harbin, ClubCorp vice president of golf revenue, who served on the World Golf Foundation’s Women’s Task Force and contributed ideas in creating the site. “The ‘Golf For Her’ website enhances our ability to reach women by giving them an avenue to discover more about the game and, as a result, improve their comfort and confidence in not only entering the game but also making it a lifestyle.”

A collaboration of the major entities in golf, GolfForHer.com is designed to attract and support female golfers of all ages and abilities.
