Those are great points, Listen to Em, I followed her advice (especially on the discs) with my wife, granted she is a very competitive person to begin with. There are some great women golfers in the NW (several are on this forum). Josh, the biggest thing is to not pressure her or tell her she is doing it wrong once you get her on the course, also start he off with a midrange (stingray or the like) or putter. And since when have we cared about thread drift?
