Hi, I’m Veronica makle.
I’m originally from South Carolina, but I’ve lived in Florida and Georgia before relocating to the Upstate in 2023. I proudly founded Girls Swinging Upstate in July 2023 in efforts to connect women through golf and community initiatives. With a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration I bring over 30 years of experience in banking, real estate, and finance.
My passion for empowering women led me to establish organizations focused on personal and professional development, health awareness, and networking events that included numerous golf clinics. While in Jacksonville, I had the honor of coordinating clinics with LPGA legend Calvin Peete and his wife, Pepper.
Now in the Upstate, I continue to inspire women from all backgrounds to learn, practice, and play golf, while fostering meaningful connections through numerous initiatives. My outreach began by engaging local Facebook groups but eventually it led to the formation of Girls Swinging Upstate because of our continued growth.
