Celebrating the One-Year Anniversary of The Lady Links of Buffalo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Dana Szymkowiak, The Lady Links of Buffalo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we commemorate the first anniversary of The Lady Links of Buffalo, it\u2019s incredible to reflect on the journey we’ve embarked on and the community we’ve built together. What began as a simple Instagram page to unite golf girlies and aspiring golf girlies in Buffalo has blossomed into a thriving community where women can explore the game of golf, build their skills, and most importantly, have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How It All Began<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n


Growing up in a family of golf enthusiasts\u2014my dad and two brothers\u2014I always felt the allure of the sport but was hesitant to join due to the male-dominated culture. However, when a few of my girlfriends took up golf and encouraged me to give it a try, I decided to take the plunge. I played my first round of golf in May 2023 at Terry Hills and instantly fell in love with the game. But it was a round at Glen Oak with an all-female foursome that was a truly transformative experience\u2014relaxed, full of laughter and encouragement, and incredibly fun. Inspired by this, I created The Lady Links of Buffalo to replicate that experience and bring together female golfers and aspiring golfers in our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breaking Stereotypes and Empowering Women in Golf<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

At The Lady Links of Buffalo, we believe in the importance of growing the game of golf for women and breaking down the stereotypes that often surround the sport. Our mission is to provide a safe and comfortable space where women can try something new without fear of judgment. I always say, “there are no bad shots at Lady Links” because we are a judgment-free zone. We do our best to teach our members how to navigate new experiences, such as the driving range, booking a tee time, and understanding course etiquette. By empowering women with the knowledge and confidence they need, we hope to inspire more women to take up golf and enjoy all the benefits it offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Year of Memorable Events and Collaborations<\/mark><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

As a Buffalo girl, born and raised, I cherish every opportunity to collaborate with local businesses, especially those that have already paved the way for growing our incredible golf community. Supporting and partnering with these establishments not only strengthens our community bonds but also helps us collectively promote the sport of golf in Buffalo, making it more inclusive and accessible for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our journey started with a small but mighty group of women who joined us for our first \u201clink ups\u201d at Bob-o-Links and Audubon Par 3. These Par 3 courses provided the perfect setting to practice our short game and get comfortable on a real course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What started with only 28 golfers has grown to over 60 golfers attending. These events continue to grow, thanks to the incredible support from Michelle, Kari Ann, and Caleb at The Dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
