Golf.
Indulgence.
Retreats.

I started golfing about 15 years ago with my husband, mostly because it was a great excuse to get outside, enjoy beautiful places, and spend time together. Somewhere along the way, I discovered that I actually liked the competition part of golf. What I didn't love? The typical women's league experience. I wasn't looking for silly games and prizes for the person who hit the ball closest to the wine cart, or who hit the most trees. I wanted to play, compete, and get better—even if my score doesn't always agree with my ambitions.

After 30 years in the corporate world, I'm trading conference rooms for fairways and creating the kind of golf experience I've always wanted. A good chunk of my corporate years was on the events team, putting on events for a company of over a thousand people, so itineraries, caterers, swag, and logistics are familiar ground. And I've always been the one in our circle of friends who plans the group golf trips, obsessing over the perfect resort, finding gorgeous courses, figuring out the logistics, and making sure there's plenty of time for the important stuff—like a shopping trip, a spa day, a great dinner, and a cocktail that tastes even better after 18 holes. Turns out, I really enjoy planning the whole thing. So why not make a business out of it?

Welcome to The GIR Club. We're here for women who love golf but also believe a great golf trip should be about more than keeping score. Come compete. Come relax. Come meet some fabulous women. And if your golf game doesn't cooperate? Well…that's what the 19th hole is for.
