Words by Holly Haslam, Successful amateur golf player

HOLLY was recently crowned the leading lady in Spainโ€™s Gecko tour and found the mixed tournament was very inclusive.

โ€œMy goal is to be the best golf player in the world, but it will be difficult to get noticed when womenโ€™s golf tournaments are barely shown on TV.

โ€œInternational Womenโ€™s Day is definitely important to promote because women still have to work harder to promote themselves, to get looked at and for equal pay. 

โ€œMen take the spotlight with sports on TV all week and have hundreds and thousands attending games, yet women may only get midnight coverage when no one is watching.โ€

Although Holly says there is a lot to look forward to in her upcoming career, she adds: โ€œChanges are happening but there is still a long way to go.

โ€œIt doesnโ€™t seem fair when the highest earning woman in golf is only 50th on the men’s highest earners list, especially when we are both doing the exact same sport.โ€
