My Story
Surprisingly, I didn’t even hold a golf club until I was well into my 20s. My first exposure to golf occurred while on a work trip in Las Vegas with 5 male coworkers. After meetings concluded, they all got picked up in a limo and chauffeured over to the Wynn Golf Course for a round of golf with bottomless cocktails while I was left in the dust by myself! Thus, my villain era began. I became obsessed with golf. It became my mission to not only learn how to play well enough to get the next invite, but to win. Little did I know, my vendetta would turn into pure love of the game.
After 12 years of golfing, I checked off a lot of milestones - breaking 90, winning corporate scrambles, and playing monumental golf courses around the country. But there was still one thing missing: The perfect golf outfit. Despite owning over 50 different golf outfits, none of them fit the way I wanted. Polos were too long, skorts had to be adjusted after every hole, and it was clear to me that women's golf apparel was an afterthought in a sport dominated by men. That is when Against the Grain was born.
My mission is to provide golfers of all shapes and sizes with clothes in which they can feel confident and comfortable, no matter the skill level. Long torso? Short legs? Thick in the thighs? My brand is designed to flatter all body types because no matter the frame, every golfer should own that one go-to outfit that they love. When I look around, I see successful, powerful and independent women who are beyond deserving of quality golf apparel. ATG allows you to move freely so you can spend your time sinking putts, talking a little smack and enjoying the game of golf.
In a sport that historically catered to men, it’s time for women to start feeling like they belong on the golf course.
I’ll see you out there!
