Girl Power: Get Golf to Love You Back
The Girl’s & Women’s Guide to Playing Golf with Confidence, Freedom, and Power
Golf was never meant to be complicated.
Yet too many girls and women spend years taking lessons, watching swing videos, buying equipment, and trying to build the perfect golf swing—only to discover that the swing they have on the driving range doesn't always show up when they step onto the golf course.
Girl Power: Get Golf to Love You Back takes a different approach.
Written by 30-year golf performance coach Mike Wray, this book is designed specifically for girls and women who want to become stronger, more athletic, more confident golfers without getting trapped in a world of complicated swing mechanics.
Girl Power takes you through a simple progression:
Discover → Build → Calibrate → Practice → Certify → Trust → Play.
The result isn't another swing system.
It's a performance system designed to help you build a golf game you can trust.
What's Inside Girl Power
Introduction — Why We Play
Before changing your swing, Girl Power begins with a more important question:
Why do we play golf?
Golf offers friendship, family connection, health, wellness, professional opportunities, competition, and a lifetime of enjoyment. Yet many women find themselves frustrated by a game that was supposed to be fun.
The introduction explains why improving the golf swing alone isn't enough. Golf is not simply a swing game.
It's a performance game.
The goal is to help you build a golf game you can trust—so you can play more, enjoy the game more, and say "yes" when someone asks you to play.
Chapter 1 — The Five Battles Every Girl Golfer Fights
Every golfer fights five invisible battles that can steal confidence, enjoyment, and performance:
The Shadow — Fear
The Whisper — Doubt
The Perfectionist — The need for perfect results
The Spotlight — Pressure
The Volcano — Emotional frustration
Each battle has an antidote:
Confidence. Trust. Predictability. Consistency. Acceptance.
The goal isn't to eliminate the battles. It's to recognize them and learn how to respond.
Chapter 2 — Discover Your Girl Power Performance Archetype™
There isn't one perfect way to play golf.
Every golfer has a natural way of thinking, learning, competing, and creating force. Your Girl Power Performance Archetype helps you understand your natural strengths and the opportunities for growth that come with them.
You'll discover eight archetypes:
The Lioness — Courage
The Falcon — Precision
The Sage — Wisdom
The Muse — Creativity
The Pathfinder — Curiosity
The Mama Bear — Consistency
The Sunshine — Joy
The Queen — Presence
The Performance Profile helps you identify your dominant archetype, your Primal Power, your most common battle, and your greatest opportunity for growth.
The goal isn't to become someone else.
It's to become the strongest, most confident, and most authentic version of yourself.
Chapter 3 — Get Golf Strong
The greatest physical advantage a golfer can develop isn't a prettier swing.
It's the ability to create speed.
This chapter explains why speed is a skill that can be measured, trained, and improved—and why its benefits go far beyond hitting longer drives.
More speed can create shorter approach shots, higher ball flights, steeper landing angles, better wedge play, more effective bunker play, and greater athletic control.
You'll discover Girl Power Speed Training™, designed specifically around the needs of female golfers.
The goal isn't simply to swing faster.
The goal is to become a stronger athlete.
Chapter 4 — Simplify Your Game: Equipment That Fits
The right equipment doesn't make you a better golfer.
It allows the golfer you already are to perform better.
This chapter challenges the idea that more clubs, newer clubs, or longer clubs automatically produce better golf.
Instead, you'll learn to build your equipment around predictability.
You'll discover how factors such as your height, strength, mobility, speed, natural movement, carry distances, and ball flight should influence equipment decisions.
You'll also learn why you may not need fourteen clubs, why your putter deserves serious attention, and why playing the same golf ball can improve predictability.
The objective is simple:
Build a bag that makes golf simpler—not more complicated.
Chapter 5 — Build Your Foundation: The Setup
Every great golf swing begins long before the club moves.
This chapter introduces a different way to think about setup. Rather than teaching one universal position, Girl Power shows you how to build a setup around the way your body naturally creates force.
You'll learn how your grip, feet, posture, ball position, alignment, foot pressure, and ground forces work together to create an athletic foundation.
The setup is reverse engineered from the motion you're trying to create.
The goal isn't to look perfect.
It's to create a foundation that allows your body to move naturally and consistently. The FireSticks™ Setup Trainer helps you find and build a consistent setup for every shot in you bag.
Chapter 6 — Create Athletic Motion
The golf swing isn't something you manufacture.
It's something you unleash.
Instead of filling your head with swing positions, this chapter teaches you to think like an athlete.
You'll learn how force begins with the ground, how the body creates momentum, why rotation becomes a reaction rather than the objective, and why there isn't one perfect backswing, swing plane, or finish.
Your motion should match your body, your athletic ability, and the way you naturally create force.
The goal is to let the body self-organize rather than trying to consciously control every movement.
Don't chase positions. Become a better athlete.
Chapter 7 — Find Your Pace
Most golfers have been taught to focus on mechanics.
Very few have been taught to focus on pace.
This chapter introduces a key concept in Girl Power: every golfer has an individual pace that allows her to produce her best combination of speed, contact, distance, and accuracy.
You'll learn the difference between pace and speed, why longer hitters don't necessarily have faster swings, and how rhythm can become a performance tool.
You'll also discover the Pace Finder™, which helps you identify your ideal pace for different types of shots.
Then you'll connect pace to music and begin creating the foundation for the SwingBeats™ performance system.
Pace becomes the bridge between practice and performance.
Chapter 8 — The Shot Code for simple decision making
Golf becomes complicated when every shot requires a new decision.
The Shot Code simplifies every shot into three variables:
Club + Setup + Pace = Shot Code
Instead of standing over an 80-yard shot wondering what to do, you'll learn to recognize the shot and recall the Shot Code you've already built.
Your Shot Code tells you:
Which club to use
Which setup to use
Which pace to use
Practice is where you discover and calibrate your Shot Codes.
The golf course is where you trust and execute them.
Over time, you'll create a personal library of Shot Codes for the important distances in your game.
Three variables. One simple code. A golf game you can trust.
Chapter 9 — The Shot Ladder
Random practice creates random results.
The Shot Ladder gives your practice a progression.
Starting with benchmark distances, you'll progressively expand your game by building calibrated shots for:
Scoring wedges
Approach shots
Full swings
Driver
Short-game shots
Putting
Instead of inventing a new swing for every distance, you'll build one predictable shot after another.
Your Shot Ladder becomes a library of answers you can trust when you step onto the golf course.
Practice becomes purposeful, measurable, and transferable.
Chapter 10 — Train to Ten™: What's a Good Shot?
One of the biggest obstacles to better golf isn't your swing.
It's your expectations.
Most golfers judge every shot as either good or bad. Girl Power introduces a different standard:
Golf is a game of proximity, not perfection.
Train to Ten™ teaches you to measure performance using a 10% standard.
Instead of judging individual shots emotionally, you'll evaluate the pattern of your shots and determine whether they fall within an acceptable performance window.
The goal isn't perfection.
The goal is predictability.
Train to Ten™ gives you a measurable way to know when a shot has become reliable enough to trust on the golf course.
Chapter 11 — Build Your SwingBeats™ Playlist
Now your golf game gets a soundtrack.
Every Shot Code has a pace. Every pace has a rhythm. And somewhere in the thousands of songs you already know is music that matches that rhythm.
SwingBeats™ turns music into a performance tool.
You'll learn how familiar songs can help reconnect you with rhythm, memory, emotion, and confidence.
Your Shot Ladder becomes a collection of rhythms:
Your wedge shot has a song.
Your approach shot has a song.
Your driver has a song.
Your putting pace has a song.
SwingBeats™ becomes more than a playlist.
It becomes the soundtrack to your best golf.
Chapter 12 — The Way Forward
The final chapter brings the entire system together.
Girl Power was never really about learning another golf swing.
It's about learning a better way to play golf.
You've learned to:
Recognize your Five Battles
Discover your Girl Power Performance Archetype™
Build physical strength and speed
Simplify your equipment
Create a setup that fits your body
Develop athletic motion
Discover your ideal pace
Build your Shot Codes
Build your Shot Ladder
Define what a good shot actually is
Develop predictable performance
Use SwingBeats™ to connect practice with performance
You don't need more information.
You need a system you can trust.
Prepare.
Calibrate.
Practice.
Measure.
Trust.
Then play.
When your club is chosen, your setup is familiar, your Shot Code is calibrated, and your pace is trusted, golf stops feeling complicated.
It starts feeling natural.
