Las
Verdes Golf Safaris for Women
___________________
Las Verdes Golf Safaris for Women will
introduce you to the enjoyment, beauty, and zen of
womens golf on the Monterey Peninsula - made famous
by the world renowned golf resorts of Pebble Beach.
Our carefully crafted women's golf lessons are free
of intimidation, competition and judgment. Instead,
we're about camaraderie and fun, thoughtful instruction,
cozy accommodations and attention to feminine detail.
And, we know many women golf for fun so we don't keep
score. We focus on playing, not on winning. Las Verdes
softens the introduction to women's golf with lodging
in idyllic Carmel-by-the-Sea, golf lessons for women
with LPGA-certified (Ladies Professional Golf Association)
instructors, and equipment designed specifically for
women.
Guests start each day with
personalized practice sessions at Quail Lodge, the
premier golf course
noted by Golf for Women magazine
as one of America's most women-friendly.
Las Verdes Golf Safaris for Women combines
yoga and massage with golf instruction,
fine dining and wine tasting, and yes, shopping!
Manifesta Safaris have offered world
premier vacations for women since 1997. Founded on
the principle that women can accomplish anything, founder
Bev Sanders and friends launched Las Olas Surf Safaris
for Women and have introduced thousands of women to
the sport and lifestyle. We have received warm praises
from guests and glowing reviews in numerous publications
such as O, the Oprah Magazine, Newsweek, Time, and
Travel & Leisure. We're also noted by the San
Francisco Chronicle as "The Golden Door of surf camps"and
by the Malibu Times as "The Number One surf camp
for women."
At the core of a Manifesta Safari is
a commitment to help guests reach their full potential
as well as to provide a life-altering experience. Our
mantra is "We make girls out of women."

Our
Manifesta - Why Golf for Women?
_________________________
We believe that golf is more than a
sport. It's a lifestyle, a unique mental and physical
challenge, and a
long-term commitment to bettering yourself. And it's
rife with some of life's best lessons: patience, persistence,
thoughtfulness, and practice... things that women excel
at.
There's a moment during your backswing
that evokes such high concentration, it feels almost
like meditation. You follow through with your stroke,
you hear that pop that means you've made contact and
you stand poised, in elation, to watch it fly. It's
powerful. But beyond that, women's golf invites you
to get together with a few of your new friends and
go outside to play... just like your mother always
told you to when you were a girl.

Good Reasons For Women To Play Golf
____________________
1. Zen.
For most of us, the ability to stay in the present
and block out distraction is difficult. Golf teaches
concentration and focus. If life's stresses has you
going in ten directions at once, a game of
golf will be fun for a change.
2. The Caddy.
Here's a person whose sole purpose for the day is to
follow you around carrying your
things and attending to your needs. It's sort of regal,
really.
3. It's not
all in the wrist.
It's more than that. It's your stance, posture, balance,
alignment, back-swing and
follow-through, too. Get it all down right and you're
a heck of a swinger.
4. An excuse
to take a walk with three friends.
The last time most of us communicated with three friends
at once, it was because we cc'd a few people
on an email forward. Remember what was like to hear
three people laugh at your jokes, rather than write
LOL?
5. Argyle.
Any sport that embraces the Scottish diamonds and diagonals
of yore is okay by us.
And while we're at it: pink sweater vests, plaid, and
the fact that you can play your full 18 holes
from tee to tally in a skirt.
6. Electric
Cars.
Sure, they're environmentally sound, but that says
nothing of the fun to be had. Forward. Reverse.
Sideways on a grassy knoll. All of this while sipping
your 'teeni'.
7. Saddle Shoes.
With spikes! Shoes tailored specifically for golfing
women in all kinds
of cute styles and a don't-mess-with-me sole.
8. You can
afford your own driver.
Plus the rest of your woods. Your irons. Your hybrids.
Your putters.
9. Size matters.
And this is when it counts. Larger clubhead volume
and face size has actually
revolutionized the sport. Longer drives across the
board.
10. High-scoring
loser.
Even when you lose and choke on the back nine,
you can go home knowing you were the high-scorer of
the day.
11. 32,000.
That's the number of golf courses on this planet. And
the countries
most endowed with courses are Scotland, New Zealand,
Australia, and Ireland. Can you say "vacation"?
