Libby Kilbride – Renishaw Park Golf Club

Women’s golf is not just about the stars of the LPGA and LET. We really like to highlight the regular players and fans of the game, particularly the girls and young women who are just starting out on a lifetime of golf.

Inspired by Seve, 12 year old Libby Kilbride plays to a handicap of 7.8 and is coached by Lee Owen at the Moorview Golf Centre in Sheffield, England.

Libby, you look very young in that photo. How old were you when you started to play golf?
I started having an interest in golf when I was about four years old. My dad played golf, and after I got to go to the range a couple of times and saw him hit shots, I wanted a little club of my own. I have been a member at Renishaw Park Golf Club (my home club) since I was 8 years old and I also currently play at Dore and Totley Golf Club.

What do you love about golf?I love going out and practicing every evening and at the weekend, knowing this is what I want to do for a living, this is my dream. I wouldn’t be working as hard as I do if I didn’t have a passion for golf. You’ve got to have determination to succeed. Who is your favourite player and why?My favourite golfer is Seve Ballesteros. I bought the Seve Movie recently, and whenever I watch it, I get inspired by his determination, his dedication and his passion to fulfill his dream. He is simply a great golfing legend and inspirational to all young golfers. Thank you Libby, you have done very well to get to such a good handicap at your age and we can see how much you enjoy the game. Good luck with your golfing dreams and remember to keep listening to your coach. We met Libby when she and her father followed womensgolf.com online. If you would like to send a message of encouragement you can follow Libby on Twitter where her account is @libsygolfgrl.

This is absolutely brilliant! I’ve been wanting some ideas for golf exercises - and these are perfect! Thank you 😊

I just joined , maybe a week ago. LOVE IT. Love all the lessons and that you can search for. You can search specific topics and pull up several lessons.

I don’t know what I would do without your site - it has been so beneficial to improving my game!

The advantage over other lesson websites are the member groups: the lesson one for a quick lesson or two and the fun of feeling connected to female golfers around the world through the social group.

I have improved my game greatly with your lessons online. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to play better golf! Thank you for a great website!

A Great New Lesson Posted Every Day!

Hi Jane, just wanted to say hi and let you know how much I enjoy and have learned from this site. I always talk about how informative this site is with the girls in my golf group.

In the last 30 days there have been 264 posts and 1243 comments.

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE the little lesson/tip snippets (side hill lie, and out-to-in slice fix were both awesome). They are so so helpful!

30 New Lessons Available for Members in the last Month

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
