“Ladies, golf is more than hitting a ball; it’s a game that builds character, opens doors, and transforms lives. Women’s golf has made remarkable progress, with pioneers like Althea Gibson and rising stars like Mariah Stackhouse rewriting what it means to be a golfer. But we need more of us—more women, more diversity—embracing this sport.

To every woman considering golf: this is your invitation. Don’t let doubts or stereotypes stop you. As an LPGA professional, I’ve seen firsthand how golf empowers and uplifts. Let’s step up and elevate the game together.”

— Jamie Taylor, LPGA Professional

“The BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX started working with Girls Swinging Upstate September 2024 for one of our Women's Networking and Golf Events hosted at 3's Greenville. The founder of Girls Swinging Upstate, Veronica Makle, was more than willing to allow us to share information about our event to the Girls Swinging Upstate Facebook page. She has such a huge passion for exposing women to golf  and connecting them with one-another. 

Through the relationship we have been able to introduce more women to golf and get them connected with other women that are interested in the game. 

Girls Swinging Upstate allows these women to connect with, and encourage one another through promoting and hosting golf events. Together we can help women utilize golf to their advantage within their careers and overall relationship building.”

— Kari Snyder, BMW Charity Pro-Am’s Director of Community Engagement & Sustainability

“Haas Family Golf is so fortunate to be involved with the Girls Swinging Upstate organization that Veronica has established here in the Upstate. Being the host facility for some of their socials and golf clinics has been a rewarding experience for both the Haas Golf Professionals and the ladies that participate. Introducing women all over the area to the sport of golf and creating socials where they can learn, laugh and network was so needed in this region as seen by the incredible growth of The GSU members!

— Paul Henriksen, Haas Family Golf
