We need more women in golf

JACK Newton has called on golf clubs in Australia to move with the times in order to attract more women to the sport.

The highly-respected commentator fears stuffy dress regulations at clubs lost in the dark age are preventing Australian women from taking to the world stage in the same way as their countrymen.

The former US Masters and British Open runner-up says measures must be made to get more females taking to the fairways.

And if that means relaxing dress codes for the first time in 50 years for some clubs, then so be it, says Newton.

Newton says the younger generation must feel comfortable at golf clubs if the sport is to continue to grow in Australia.
