The Intrepid Woman Explorer series is designed to bring our readers a close-up and personal view of some activities and elements of business culture that have been historically male-dominated.
So I thought, what better way to kick off the series than a review of my recent dining experience at Peter Luger’s, the legendary Brooklyn steakhouse that has defined the experience of power lunches and expense account dinners in New York for over 120 years.
Nicki Gilmour invites you to Golf Lessons with a Pro +Wine
Chelsea Piers, NYC
10th October 2007, 6.30pm -8pm then drinks.
It is always great to get out of the office and pretend to be working. Doesn’t it seem that way when people are out playing golf? “doing deals” -working on their tans I think is what really happens. Nice excuse, especially if it is strutting around Palm Beach.
The other day I went to Connecticut with a friend to do some Kayaking on the Sound and there was a beautiful green course with old guys on it. No women. In the bar after, lots of men enjoying fine seafood and wine. No women.
I have decided to investigate this further by getting a group of fun women together to hit a few balls and drink wine, we can truly decide if golf is boring or if we are just being told that to keep us off the course.

After hitting a few balls and hopefully not decapitating anyone in the process we will have a few drinks at the bar.
If it goes well we may actually go to a golf course and practice a bit so that next Spring when invited to a business golf affair we won’t be totally embarrassed and maybe, just maybe we can beat the boys at their own game.
