From Maine to the sunny shores of Cali, golf season is here and many people are hitting the greens. Millions of women find the game fun, challenging and beneficial on many levels, but I also want to add–glamorous. Golf for Women magazine put out a list of “Top 25 Female Celebrity Golfers” and a large portion of them are in the fashion and film industries. Here are a few of the ultra-stylish on the list, along with their handicap and interesting golf-related facts about them. PS: I was really surprised by a couple of these names.

Using these women as “stylish inspiration,” I’ve come out with a new Golf Goddess Golden as well as new packaging as part of the brand evolution. I’m proud that many women golfers wear the Golf Goddess to count their strokes per hole as well as other goals when not on the course. Some of the most amazing press we’ve ever received was when the editor of Golf Digest Magazine wrote, “It’s time to toss your old bead counter, the Golf Goddess bracelet offers math-challenged golfers an elegant way to count their strokes.” For everyone who loves the game, good luck this season and keep counting!
