Message from the Executive Director
My professional life has allowed me the opportunity to combine three things that
I am passionate about: business, golf and women's development.
When I first began
playing golf at the age of eight, there were limited opportunities for women and golf.
Lorena Ocheoa, Annika Sorenstam and Michelle Wie had yet to burst on to the scene.
Both the game and industry was still dominated by men. Some would argue that over
twenty-five years later, this is still the case. I am not one of them. The game of
golf has embraced women and significantly improved opportunities in all facets and
I am proud to say that I have been a part of this change.
After a brief playing career, I became a LPGA professional in 2000 and committed myself
to teaching women to play golf at all skill levels. I spent 8 years honing my skills
as the owner of a women's only golf school and custom club fitting facility in South Carolina.
Having returned to my native Canadian roots, I am thrilled to once again combine my passion of women,
golf and business.
2011 was a successful season. I hope you learned as much from us, as we did from you. As we
begin to gear up for the spring, please continue to provide us with feedback so that we can better
help you learn and improve your skills. Looking forward to another great season.
Kind regards,
Courtney Billing
