Rick just a quick one have you seen Josh Bell Golf great character with good content buy I think he could do with a bit of your help with his channel just a thought that you might be able to do a video together to give him the kick start needed.
So bizarre to hear how little retail stores in the UK have womens, anything. Go in any store here in the US and it's basically 50/50, even golf shops
The number of women who play in the UK makes it financial unviable for many retailers and pro shops to keep ladies stock in store as it is often a struggle to sell it. As a result many places like my own have to resort to ordering stuff in when asked for as we simply can’t afford to hold lots of stock and not sell it.
Yeah, it's kind of a catch 22. Mia had a good point. How many women came into a local shop looking for ladies gear and not finding it. Then they say forget it, I'm not playing golf if I can't even get the basics. But you can't run a business on maybes 🤷♂️
Same in Germany/Switzerland
Sweden as well I believe (mens perspective tbf)
Not in my neck of the woods of the US. My girls play and one actually played HS golf for 4 seasons, said it's like finding a needle in a hay stack, unless you are in maybe metro plex. We have 3 courses here and only 1 pro shop carries much in the way of womens apparel, and a collard shirt starts at $80! But they don't hardly carry any shoes, or skirts. And everything is pink. One of them said they might as well just wear mens xsmall. lol!
That’s so weird, by UK retailers. My local golf Drummond Golf store in Australia has 50/50 split with all clothing. The likes of footjoy and Ecco have a great range of women’s shoes. Also they carry a good selection of women’s golf sets as well as many fitting options for women.
6:43 Beavis & Butt-Head 😂
This is exactly what I pictured Guy looking like from just listening to the podcast 😂
I was in an american golf yesterday and it had a good sized womans section :)
Rick please take young josh bell out for a round and a collaboration vid what a nice young man he is never seen any one so happy playing golf am sure you could give him some good tips too
As an American she seems like what all British girls should be like.
We started at the same age (I'm 26 as well)! I just broke 100 yesterday... Sounds like crap but I was happy with it being my 3rd game. I'm in it for the fun.
Breaking 100 is a real challenge. I played for years as a teenager and never did it ... started again as an adult, joined a club, and did it on maybe my 10th round.
Yay a new episode, you're awesome, and have a great day😀!
Hi Guy & Rick. Big fan, Love the podcast, been listening since almost the start. Anyway my point - I’ve always felt your podcasts have had way too high audio dynamic range (ie you’ll be talking quietly then all of a sudden a huge jump in volume as one of you talk louder into the mic). This can be jarring for the listener so you need to look into audio compression to fix these issues - audio compression brings the quiet parts and loud parts into balance, while stopping the audio distorting... I’ve stayed quiet for now hoping someone else might mention it and you’d fix things.. however after listening to this very podcast with yourselves and Mia on my way to golf yesterday I feel I have to message you.... not only was there apparently no compression but there was also a lot of digital distortion in places. Distortion is not good!! Very nasty for the listening experience.
My advice would be to get yourselves better compression and mastering software - a great all in one package is the Ozone mastering suite. Has compression, studio EQs and a maximiser among other helpful tools. Get it done now! I’m an amateur music producer so I’m no expert, but I’ve learnt a thing or two about mastering audio over the years. Hit me up if you want some help.
Try Silvermere
Heard the pod cast on Spotify Very good.
I was a little shocked to hear about a lack of women's attire in England.
In Germany/Switzerland, shops have 50/50 mens/womens products.
Oh I bet. It’s a real head scratcher. Mia is here to save the day don’t worry! Yay. Crazy thing is men’s actually fits her much better!
2 years later, she is striping it down the fairway. Super fast progress.
Hey my notifications finally work
This is my 2nd channel. Be sure to have them on for both channels
Great video love it
Of course Guy has a Twirl sitting on front of him 😂 man after my own heart!
rick the goat
I thought she was a teenager after watching her playing, surprised she’s mid 20s, that explains her maturity 😬
No place like merica🇺🇸. Women’s golf gear in every golf store.
Teach me to be more constant with my swing 😭😭😭
I went into American Golfs flagship store and they didn't stock a single size 13 shoe. I think I need a word with the CEO
Listened to this in the car, where was Guy and who is the child in the tracksuit?
Admire Mia for the self promoting and doing what she is obviously very good at! HOWEVER, the whole “I’m a unfairly treated beginner woman golfer” and “ golf needs more equality - because I can’t find ladies golf clothes” is getting very boring. Nothing she wears is specific to golf! And all her shoes are spineless!! 😂 good on her for taking advantage of a “sexiest gap in the market” - smart girl! Making golf more accessible to everyone is how you promote and grow the game - and unfortunately it’s a lot harder and will take a lot more unseen work and the people actually doing it - will more than likely never get the the recognition or opportunities rewarded to an influencer like Mia.
So strange to hear this story from Mia. Here in Canada 🇨🇦 it is probably close to 50/50 in apparel. Clubs and shoes more like 1/3 to 2/3 women to men. But to hear that there is nothing for women in such a large store would only suggest there are very few female golfers in the UK. Is that the case?
Boring
