I am writing this letter in response to your advertisement for the Women’s Golf Classic that was released in 2012 for executive women in Calgary. In your advertisement, you used a heel to represent a golf ball on a tee.

I wish to now take this opportunity to express my personal opinion on the matter on the usage of the heels

Tiger Woods, an amazing golfer, does this foolish act, “After outdriving his 29-year-old playing partner on the ninth hole, Woods handed him a Tampax branded tampon” (Fraser).

Golf began when some Scotsman were hitting rocks with sticks in the fifteenth century. Was this sport made just for the men, or is it a sport that everyone can enjoy? Many say golf means, “Gentlemen only; Ladies forbidden.” This makes one believe that women are not allowed to enjoy the game of golf. This however came from men. The men believed this was their time to be men and to get away from their wives and children. Golf is just as much of a woman’s sport as it is a mans. Golf is a sport where

Golf was a Gentlemen's Sport, is it Still? The game of golf that is known and played today is very different than the game that was created in Europe in the early thirteenth century.
