American Golf are the worst. Last two shops I've been in have had literally nothing in terms of women's clothing and shoes and very little in equipment. Salesman admitted he was embarrassed by this and encouraged me to write to head office to complain.
I believe they now own Rife and Stromberg so they are not being dictated to by mfrs. You would hope that this would have filtered through by now but clearly not.

Try Golf Garb and Golf Base as at least they do free returns. There is also Miss Designer Golf though I've never liked anything on there. American Golf has always been crap in the time I've been playing golf.

Our pro shop is unique in that the whole top floor is dedicated to women's clothing - the pro's wife sorts out the stock etc. They have some lovely stuff and it's all sorted in colours BUT it can be pricey!

it is only when I am trying to find a birthday present for my mum that you realise how little selection there is and how few deals there are on ladies golf gear.

Shoes for men, we have 137 designs in all sizes and colours and many at half price. Ladies, we have one pair in size 3.5 for £195.00.

Clubs for men, you can pick up any one of a dozen or more older model drivers for under £150 brand new. Ladies, we have one club, its Ping and it costs £350

Oh and heaven forbid you do not like stuff in baby pink.

So, todays random irritation is a bit of support and solidarity for the ladies on here.
For clubs, your best bet might be Golfbidder, they generally have plenty of ladies ones. For shoes though, you're right, I've been keeping half an eye open now that my wife has started playing, but I rarely ever see any.

Golfbidder just shows more disparity. They want £170 for good condition 2017 Cobra driver that I could have bought in the mens model, new, for £99.00 on Clubhouse Golf.

To be fair.. their fairer now because they are awful for both sexes now.

Shop has drastically nose dived

Isn't this the same with second hand left handed gear? Less of it about higher prices?

Imagine being a left handed lady must be ££££££

I don't think I'd pay that to see anyone to be honest. Prices for concerts have just gone silly and with GA at Hyde Park you'd be watching her on a screen anyhow!

The weather today. Absolutely grim out there and the lake district will be under water by this time tomorrow judging by the forecast and the amount of standing water in the fields around keswick.

Just returned from the hell in earth that is Blackpool and the drive home was not much better on the motorway, fortunately this far north traffic is quite light. Covid doesn't exist in Blackpool by the look of things ?‍♂️

That's the majority of the visitors to Blackpool sadly.
