What is She Plays Golf?
She Plays Golf is an initiative led by Golf Canada focused on creating more opportunities for women and girls to learn, play, and enjoy the game.
The program introduces new players to golf in a fun, welcoming, and judgement-free environment, while also helping current players stay engaged and connected to the sport.
She Plays Golf also supports competitive pathways through the She Plays Golf Championship Series, giving our aspiring elite golfers the opportunity to earn an exemption into the CPKC Women’s Open – the only Canadian stop on the LPGA Tour.
Delivery Partner Spotlight
Throughout the year, we’ll be highlighting some incredible delivery partners helping bring She Plays Golf to life across Canada. This is an opportunity to recognize their efforts, share their story, and acknowledge the amazing work they are doing in their community through golf.
Girls Golf Academy
This month, we’re proud to spotlight Keri Moffat, founder of Girls Golf Academy in British Columbia and a driving force behind growing the game for girls and young women. In addition to leading Girls Golf Academy, Keri serves as Assistant Coach for the University of British Columbia Women’s Golf Team and Director of Instruction at Mayfair Lakes Golf & Country Club, where she continues to shape the next generation of athletes and leaders.
Through clinics, mentorship, and on-course experiences, Keri has built an atmosphere where participants gain confidence, leadership skills, and lasting friendships alongside their golf development.
At the heart of all her work is a commitment to empowering girls through sport because “when girls feel confident and supported in sport, it creates opportunities that extend far beyond the golf course.”
Her impact on the game has earned her multiple honours, including the 2023 PGA of Canada Coach of the Year, PGA of BC Coach of the year, Cascade Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year—a testament to her passion and lasting impact in the sport.
Leaders like Keri embody what She Plays Golf is about, helping redefine the game by ensuring that girls feel supported, encouraged, and excited about their golf journey.

Golf Rules Made Simple: Teeing Off
Where do I tee off?
Every hole begins from the tee deck – also known as the tee box or simply the “tee”.
Players in the same group can tee off from different tee decks based on skill level and what feels most comfortable.
No matter which tees you choose, whether you’re brand new or chasing birdies, the rules stay the same:
- Place your ball between the two tee markers, or
- Up to two club lengths behind them
Just don’t place your ball in front of the markers— nice try, but no free yardage here.
