OUR CONTRIBUTORS

The Most Exclusive Golf Clubs in the World • From windswept coastlines in New Zealand to ultra-modern retreats in Florida, these are the most elusive, invitation-only spots in the game. Places where golf ’s power players retreat. Some are steeped in a century of tradition, while others are fresh visions of luxury built for today’s golf elite. I’ve had the opportunity to experience a handful of them, and each offers something unforgettable. Let’s take a walk through the most exclusive golf clubs in the world!

INTRODUCING Craig Kessler LPGA COMMISSIONER • On 15 July, a new chapter of the LPGA’s history began as Craig Kessler officially became the organisation’s 10th commissioner. A graduate of Georgetown University with an MBA from Harvard, Kessler most recently served as the COO of the PGA of America. He currently serves on the board of the National Golf Foundation. Shortly after assuming his post with the LPGA, Kessler responded to a series of questions posed by Women’s Golf Magazine’s Rick Woelfel.

STINGER GOLF PRODUCTS • A Family Legacy Revolutionizing the Game for Australian Golfers

Walk & Talk WITH Lydia Ko • Walking is at the heart of what ECCO does, with the brand on a mission to show that the simple act of a stroll with friends or a solo hike is about more than keeping fit—it’s about connection. Chiming with the ECCO’s ‘Made for Every Step’ mantra.

The Art of Balancing the Bag & the Baby Extending the Tour Family • Motherhood and professional golf. Each is a gift, deeply rewarding in its own way, yet both come with their own unique set of challenges. Combining the two? Well, that’s an art in itself.

Marlene Bauer Hagge Trailblazer and Trendsetter • Marlene Bauer Hagge left a lasting impact on the history of women’s golf. Hagge, who passed away in May of 2023 at age 89, was the last survivor among the LPGA’s 13 Founders. Her playing record features 26 LPGA wins, including one major championship. But Hagge’s impact goes beyond the numbers.

20 of the BEST Golf Courses for Women in Australia & New Zealand • I’ve teed off at golf courses in Australia and New Zealand and discovered my favourite courses for women. Some appeal for their impeccable course design and playability. Others stand out for their friendly female golfing communities. And several make the list as an amazing girls' golf getaway destination.

EYES ON THE PRIZE

The VISIONARY Returns Johan Lindeberg on Revolutionising Golf Fashion—AGAIN • When Johan Lindeberg stepped onto the fashion scene in the 1990s, he didn’t follow trends—he started them. First, with Diesel’s provocative Successful Living campaign and later with J.Lindeberg, where he transformed the way the world viewed golf apparel forever.
