There is something elegant and serene about stepping onto a golf course. The wide-open space. The soft rhythm of swings. The gentle clink of a tee shot in motion. But if you are new to the game, or just getting back into it, the experience can feel slightly intimidating.
At Fair Liar, we believe that golf should feel just as welcoming as it looks. You do not need to know every rule or own every club to belong. You just need the confidence to show up and the curiosity to connect.
Here is your stylish and supportive guide to making friends while finding your footing on the fairway.
1. Learn the Basics, Not Every Rule
You do not need to be a golf expert to be a great playing partner. What matters most is being considerate. Here are a few things that go a long way:
-
Be ready when it is your turn
-
Avoid standing too close when someone else is swinging
-
Keep things moving at a steady pace
The goal is not perfection. It is presence. People appreciate effort and positive energy far more than a flawless swing.
2. Dress the Part, Your Way
Golf style has evolved, and you do not have to wear a uniform to feel like you belong. The right outfit should move with you, reflect your taste, and make you feel at ease.
Fair Liar is designed for these moments. It brings together polish and practicality in a way that feels intentional but never overdone. Think breathable fabric, flattering silhouettes, and details that spark compliments. You might be surprised how many friendships start with “Where did you get that?”
3. Let Your Smile Start the Conversation
Sometimes the best icebreaker is a warm smile and a genuine hello. If you are not sure what to say, try one of these easy openers:
“Is this your home course?”
“What do you love most about playing here?”
“Hi, I am new to the sport. Would you mind sharing any tips?”
Golf can feel serious, but it does not have to be. A little humor and friendliness go a long way.
4. Seek Out Beginner-Friendly Spaces
Many clubs offer women’s leagues, clinics, or beginner days. These are perfect for making friends while learning the game in a supportive environment. Even better, everyone is there for the same reason – to connect, grow, and enjoy the process.
If you are unsure where to start, just ask. The staff will likely point you in the direction of other friendly faces.
5. Embrace the Learning Curve
You will miss shots. You might forget where to stand. You could even whiff your first swing. All of that is part of the experience.
Golf is a game of patience and humility. Most women on the course remember exactly what it felt like to be new. When you show up with a light spirit and a willingness to laugh at yourself, people notice. That energy is magnetic.
