Golfermoms.com is a new website that supports the challenges of being both mom and serious golfer

Sept. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- To play golf at an elite level requires a tremendous amount of time and dedication. Similar to other sports, such as tennis, golf demands focused training over a long period if the player is to excel in the craft.

The physical demands placed on the body because of pregnancy followed by the lifestyle changes associated with having children make the pursuit of professional and amateur sports far less common for women who have children than for men.

High visibility players such as Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa left the sport when they were married in order to focus on beginning and raising their families. However, some women have continued to play golf, even at the highest level, once they have had children. Women who have been successful at golf after having a family include Juli Inkster and Laura Diaz, both of whom continue to play professionally on the LPGA Tour. In fact, in recognition that many players are choosing to have a family while playing golf professionally the LPGA now has traveling daycare for moms on tour, that takes care of the players' children while they play and practice.

Some "real-life" aspects of golf make balancing it along with motherhood a unique challenge. Namely-

1) Time: a typical round of golf takes 4.5 hours and many more additional hours of practice on the driving range.
2) Location: golf cannot be "mobile" and must take place on the course. Without special arrangements it is difficult to practice golf realistically at home.
4) Money: Paying for golf rounds, equipment, range fees, and lessons, can be exorbitant and potentially make the sport out of reach for the average young family.

Golfermoms.com suggests real-world solutions to these problems. Articles discuss time management techniques, ways to make the most out of the monetary investment, ways to practice at home, and so forth. Golfermoms.com also describes to the reader how she may improve her game although she has less total time to work with.

In an ideal world a woman should not have to choose between being a mom and thriving in any sport or career that she loves. Golfermoms.com was developed to help women who want to accomplish both golf and motherhood.
