Fareen “Far” Samji is a 5-time Canadian Women’s Long Drive Champion, and former golf touring professional. After leaving her professional golf career behind, she began to focus on using golf to mentor professional women to increase their confidence on the links, and in life. She wrote a book called “Smashing the Grass Ceiling,” a golfing guide that teaches you how to use golf to develop meaningful relationships in the workplace.
Far believes you don’t have to come to golf with natural skill. Learning the game simply takes time and confidence. And you don’t have to be perfect to play. It’s more about how you present yourself on the links and with your group than whether you can drive a long ball down the fairway.
Whether you shy away from because of lack of time, performance anxiety, or you don’t know the rules, Far stresses that it’s important you know how to leverage golf as a social and business networking tool. Spending time on the course is a smart way to invest focused, uninterrupted time with the people who can make a difference in your career. She runs a Smashing Nines program to help women develop golf basics in a safe and supportive environment.
