and pursuit to advance the game of golf and more...

Our Mission

At the heart of this expansion is the inspiration drawn from legend: Althea Gibson, a trailblazer in both golf and tennis. Gibson was a dominant force in tennis, becoming the first Black woman to win a Grand Slam title. After breaking barriers on the tennis court, she went on to compete as a professional golfer, paving the way for women of color in both sports. Her legacy represents perseverance, excellence, and the power of embracing multiple athletic pursuits—values that align perfectly with the mission of Ladies Who Golf.

Tennis and golf share more similarities than one might think. Both sports require precision, focus, and strategic thinking. Adding racquet sports to our community offers members a way to diversify their fitness routines, improve hand-eye coordination, and engage in a fun, social environment. With the LWG Racquet Club, we aim to create new opportunities for networking, skill-building, and active lifestyles.

Changing the golf landscape:

Ladies Who Golf is redefining the game of golf for Professional Career Women by creating an inclusive, dynamic, and inspiring community. Established September 16, 2023 by a mother-daughter duo and operated by a Notre Dame Collegiate Golfer, we recognize that women who step onto the golf course with peers and decision-makers position themselves as well-rounded professionals capable of navigating any environment—whether it’s closing deals in the office or managing high-stakes interactions on the green, we’re changing the golf landscape. The golf course fosters conversations and collaborations that may not naturally arise in a formal office setting, offering a unique space to break down barriers and establish meaningful connections.

Reinforcing confidence and competence:

By taking advantage of corporate golf tournaments, women in male-dominant fields can reinforce their presence in industries where representation matters. The golf course fosters conversations and collaborations that may not naturally arise in a formal office setting, offering a unique space to break down barriers and establish meaningful connections. We exist to break barriers, foster belonging, and inspire a new generation of women to embrace the opportunities golf has to offer—on and off the course as we reinforce confidence and competence.

Opportunities to lead, inspire, and succeed:

So, welcome to a club where we aim to provide Career-driven Women with a space to build meaningful business and social relationships, leveraging the unique environment that the golf course offers. Whether closing deals, exchanging ideas, or simply enjoying a round of golf, our community fosters opportunities to strengthen networks and support one another’s success. It’s not just about the sport; it’s chance to leverage every opportunity to lead, inspire, and succeed.
