You don't need to already be good.

You just need to be ready to learn.

What: GRIPS. Girls Refining Impact, Play & Swing
When: 6pm to 9pm
Where: Premier Indoor Golf, 25177 W 151st St, Olathe KS
Who leads it: A top female golf professional

Indoors, small group, and nobody outside the room can see you.

Girly Pop's own list of who GRIPS is built for.

Always wanted to learn golf
Never knew where to start
Felt awkward at courses or networking events
Wanted a hobby outside work and mom life
Crave community and skill building
Are tired of saying I'll learn someday

This is not a clinic where you stand in a line

Their words. GRIPS is a small group, it runs indoors in bays, and the instruction is hands on rather than a demonstration you watch from the back.

What the three hours are

Six things happen between six and nine. Each one is on Girly Pop's own list for the evening, and each one is aimed at something that keeps women off a course in the first place.

Club understanding

Which club is which, what each one is for, and why the bag has fourteen of them. This comes before a single ball is hit, because the alternative is standing at a bay guessing.

The worry it answers: Never knew where to start

Hands on coaching

A professional standing next to you, moving your hands, not calling instructions from ten feet away. Small group, so your turn comes round more than once.

The worry it answers: Always wanted to learn golf

Swing analysis

Your actual swing, played back to you, with the one thing to change named out loud. Indoor bays mean this happens on a screen instead of in front of a tee box queue.

The worry it answers: You don't need to already be good

Golf etiquette

Where to stand, when to talk, who hits first, what to do when you are slow, and what all of it is called. This is the part that is never taught and is the actual reason a first round feels like a test.

The worry it answers: Felt awkward at courses or networking events

Personalised feedback

Not a group note. What you specifically should work on next, so the drive home has a plan in it and the next range night has a point.

The worry it answers: Tired of saying I'll learn someday

Networking and community

The reason most people came. You leave with a group chat and a list of Tuesdays, which is what turns one evening into an actual hobby.

The worry it answers: Crave community and skill building
