Ladies can register for free tickets to the London Golf Show until the 31st October

The London Golf Show has teamed up with FORE! Women in an effort to appeal to females and promote golf participation beyond those already converted to the sport.

This year, as part of the show's focus on distinctive areas, there will be a dedicated Women's Zone for the first time.

The zone will be managed and coordinated by FORE! Women's Felicity Dunderdale, who sees it as a fantastic opportunity to showcase all that's good about the sport to a female audience.

And, to celebrate the partnership, all women who register on the London Golf Show website before October 31 will gain free access to the event.

The show takes place at Glow, Bluewater from Friday November 13 to Sunday November 15. All non-females can get two-for-one tickets via www.londongolfshow.com/golfmonthly

"I'm thrilled that FORE! Women has been asked to take part in this year's London Golf Show. It opens up a fantastic opportunity for women of any level of ability to come and see what golf has to offer," said Dunderdale.

"Being part of the show and hosting a dedicated Women's Zone means that we can welcome and guide those who are interested in taking their first steps. We are planning a Q&A session where 'no question is a silly question'.

"And, best of all, women can currently get their tickets for free."

FORE! Women is an online women's guide to golf, with the focus on building a UK-wide female community. According to research, 50% of women do not feel confident enough at a golf club.

David Patel, owner and CEO of the London Golf Show, added:

"We are really excited to be working with FORE! Women. We have been keen to create this dedicated Women's Zone for a while. It has always been one of our company's objectives to increase women's awareness and participation within golf and we feel this is a great step in the right direction in achieving this goal.

"Many brands are encouraging women to the game of golf and we hope the women go free offer, alongside the dedicated Women's Zone, will support the growth within the ladies' side of the game."
