Golf News: Shot Scope Announces Partnership with Women’s Golf Day to Empower Golfers Through Technology and Data.

West Palm Beach, Florida and Edinburgh, Scotland: Shot Scope, a leading golf technology brand dedicated to helping golfers improve their game through innovative tracking, GPS, and performance analytics, is proud to announce a new partnership with Women’s Golf Day (WGD).

The partnership brings together two organizations committed to making golf more accessible, engaging, and rewarding for golfers of all skill levels. Through the collaboration, Women’s Golf Day and Shot Scope will highlight the role technology can play in helping women better understand their games, build confidence, and enjoy their time on the course.
“Women’s Golf Day brings the golf community together around one shared mission: to introduce more women and girls to the game and create opportunities for them to stay and thrive in it. By working collectively with the governing bodies, golf facilities, industry organizations, and individuals, we can create more opportunities and ensure a stronger, more vibrant future for the game. Our goal is that woman and girls feel engaged, empowered and supported and discover and enjoy golf with the resources and community they need to make the game part of their lives,” said Elisa Gaudet, Founder of Women’s Golf Day. “Shot Scope shares our passion for growing the game and empowering golfers with tools that make their golf experience more meaningful. We’re excited to partner with a brand that understands the value of data, innovation, and making improvement fun.”

Shot Scope’s technology provides golfers with detailed insights into their performance, helping players identify strengths, understand areas for improvement, and make more informed decisions on the course.

“Shot Scope is thrilled to partner with Women’s Golf Day and support its mission to grow participation and create more opportunities for women in golf,” said Lyndsey Whitefield, Head of Marketing at Shot Scope. “We believe that access to the right technology and information can give golfers greater confidence in their game. Together with Women’s Golf Day, we look forward to introducing more women to the benefits of using data to play, practice, and enjoy golf.”

As part of the partnership, Women’s Golf Day and Shot Scope will explore opportunities to engage golfers through data, educational content, product experiences, and initiatives designed to demonstrate how technology can support golfers throughout their journey.

Shot Scope recently launched “The Women’s Game by the Numbers,” a new eBook exploring the data behind women’s golf and providing practical insights to help women golfers better understand their performance. Drawing on Shot Scope’s performance data, the eBook highlights key trends, statistics, and opportunities for improvement, giving golfers the knowledge and confidence to make more informed decisions about their game. The resource reflects Shot Scope’s commitment to making performance data accessible, relevant, and valuable to more women golfers.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to building a more enjoyable and informed golf experience for the WGD golf community—one where everyone has the resources, encouragement, and opportunities they need to participate and thrive.

Jeongeun Lee6 Captures Thrilling Victory at IOA Golf Classic

Tours and Events

In a commanding final-round performance, Jeongeun Lee6 surged to victory at the IOA Golf Classic, claiming her second professional title and first since her breakthrough 2019 U.S. Women’s Open triumph.

Entering Sunday in a three-way tie for the lead alongside Haylee Harford Sanchez and Liqi Zeng, the 29-year-old from the Republic of Korea battled early nerves amid ongoing swing adjustments following the loss of her LPGA Tour card after the 2025 season. Undeterred, Lee6 delivered a brilliant 6-under-par round featuring one eagle and seven birdies, finishing at the top of the leaderboard by a single stroke.

She started strong with birdies on two of her first three holes but briefly faltered with bogeys on No. 6 and No. 9, turning at 2-under. Regaining momentum, she birdied No. 12 before exploding on the par-5 13th with a stunning eagle. Lee6 sealed the win on the closing holes, most notably with a precise full pitching wedge from 116 meters to two feet on the final hole, which she calmly converted for birdie.

“I’m still feeling uncomfortable with my swing, but I tried to focus on what I had to do today, and it worked well,” Lee6 said. Reflecting on the decisive shot, she added, “Yes, if I made a birdie, I can win. I knew that. But it was 116 meters, so I was thinking a controlled nine or full pitching wedge. I changed to the pitching wedge, hit a full shot, and made it.”

Fellow Republic of Korea native Jiwon Jeon also staged a significant charge on Sunday, starting the day in a tie for 13th, at 4-under par total. The LPGA and Epson Tour veteran quickly got to work dropping back-to-back birdies on holes two and three and again on eight and nine to make the turn 4-under. The University of Alabama alumnae got to work and two birdies and an eagle on the back nine, to sign for a bogey-free 8-under, bringing her to 12-under total for the tournament and claiming a solo second finish.

“I mean, it feels amazing, Jeon expressed, “My golf game has been a little off the last couple of years, and I worked really hard during off season and am trying to get my game back and the confidence back on the golf course. That worked out pretty well. I’m very proud of myself shooting 8 under today.”

With this win, Lee6 is now sitting at No. 1 in the Race for the Card standings, with week one winner Isabella Fierro being the second athlete to claim the top of the leaderboard this 2026 season.

Mariel Galdiano started the day one shot back of 36-hole leaders Haylee Harford Sanchez, Liqi Zeng, and Jeongeun Lee6, ultimately finishing in solo third at 11-under total. Galdiano put up a good fight, finding a mix of eagles, birdies, and bogeys for a final round of 5-under. The Hawaii native now has eight top-10 finishes throughout her Epson Tour career and is looking forward to carrying this momentum into the final event of the Florida swing with hopes of securing her first professional win.

When the day began, Amari Avery was in a tie for 26th at 1-under par, before lighting it up in her final round on Championship Sunday. Avery rounded the turn with a strong 2-under 33 on the front nine. The University of Southern California native did not stop there, making four more birdies, highlighted by three consecutive on holes 12-14, ultimately signing for a 6-under, 65, to finish the tournament in a tie for eighth. With this top finish, Avery now sits at No. 13 in the Race for the Card standings and looks to hold her position as the remainder of the season gets underway.

As the first weeks of the 2026 season continue, the Epson Tour will head off to Lakeland, Fla., for the inaugural playing of the Orlando Health Championship from March 20-22 at the Grasslands Golf & Country Club.

Fresh off a victory on the Epson Tour, Jeongeun Lee6 wasted no time proving she still had momentum to spare.

Less than 24 hours after capturing the title at the IOA Golf Classic in Longwood, Fla., Lee6 boarded a red-eye flight, arrived in California in the early morning hours, and teed it up in the Monday Qualifier for the Fortinet Founders Cup, where she earned one of the two coveted spots in the field. There was no rest, no reset, and barely any sleep.

“I went straight to the housing, my friend’s house, and then arrived maybe at 4:20 a.m. I took a shower in hot water. I needed that,” Lee6 said. “Then I didn’t sleep because if I slept, I’d be more tired, I think. So, I didn’t sleep, stretched a little bit, and then I had breakfast, and then went straight to the tee box.”

How Golf is Redefining Women’s Wellness and Wealth

Learning to play golf offers women a unique blend of physical health, career advancement, and personal empowerment. Whether you’re interested in the social “Wine and Nine” scene or the strategic networking opportunities, the game serves as a powerful tool for growth. Here’s just some of the reasons:

The Power of Women in Golf

Empowerment & Confidence: Mastering the technical challenges of golf fosters resilience and patience. Many women find that the confidence built on the course spills over into other aspects of life.

Career Advancement: Golf is a “game of business.” It provides informal networking time with decision-makers that can lead to promotions and partnerships.

Health & Longevity: Golfers live an average of five years longer than non-golfers. A typical 9-hole round involves walking roughly three miles, which boosts cardiovascular health and mental acuity.

Enjoy a round with your “B-e-s-t-i-e”….You might find it makes for a healthier you!

Overcoming the “Fear of Embarrassment” – The biggest hurdle for beginners is often the fear of looking bad.

Refocus on Pace, Not Performance: Most golfers don’t care if you’re “bad,” but they do care if you’re slow. If you’re struggling, pick up your ball and move to the next hole—it’s a standard and respected move.

Embrace the “Surprise” Mindset: Shift from feeling embarrassed about a bad shot to being “surprised” it didn’t go as planned, then immediately move on.

Laughter is a Tool: Making light of a “duffed” shot immediately eases tension for you and your playing partners.

Current Trends: Fashion & Social Play

Wine and Nine: This popular format combines social drinking with a relaxed 9-hole round. It’s a low-pressure way to enjoy the game with friends or a partner.

Fashion Forward: Modern golf wear has moved toward athleisure, featuring vibrant hues (hot pink, electric blue), tailored skorts, and performance dresses that transition easily from the course to brunch.

Women’s Leagues: Joining a league provides a supportive environment with peers of similar skill levels, often including social perks like mid-season BBQs or awards ceremonies.

How Golf Benefits Your Relationships

Quality Time: Golf offers 2–4 hours of uninterrupted conversation away from screens, making it ideal for deep bonding with a spouse or partner.

Shared Growth: Participating in a Couples’ League can strengthen a partnership through healthy competition and shared learning.

Look for an instructor who offers group clinics. The LPGA has some of the best teachers in the world!

Steps to Get Started

Pick the Right Professional: Look for instructors who offer group clinics specifically for women to ease into the game with others. Ensure they focus on “feel” and “fun” rather than just complex mechanics.

Gain Knowledge Comfortably: Use resources like the PGA of America’s Female Beginner Guide to learn etiquette and basic rules.

Start Small: Don’t feel pressured to play 18 holes immediately. Begin at the driving range, then move to a “Wine and Nine” event to keep the experience enjoyable.

Joining the game of golf offers women significant advantages that extend from physical health to the highest levels of corporate leadership. As of 2026, women and girls remain the fastest-growing demographic in the sport, driving a cultural shift toward a more inclusive and social environment.

Boost your earnings all while having fun. Women who golf earn an average of 17% more than those who don’t

Professional & Career Benefits – Golf is often described as the “boardroom on the greens,” providing a unique professional advantage.

Access to Decision-Makers: A four-hour round offers a relaxed, informal setting to build rapport with influential executives who may be otherwise difficult to reach in a formal office environment.

The “Grass Ceiling”: Research indicates that women who play golf can earn an average of 17% more than those who do not. Furthermore, 80% of Fortune 500 executives say golf has helped their careers.

Skill Demonstration: On the course, women can Tangibly demonstrate leadership qualities such as strategic thinking, resilience under pressure, and integrity—traits that are highly valued and transferable to executive roles.

Health & Personal Well-being – Golf provides a holistic “brain and body” workout that is particularly beneficial for women’s long-term health.

Physical Longevity: Golfers have a 40% lower mortality rate and live an average of five years longer than non-golfers. Walking a 9-hole round typically involves about three miles of cardiovascular exercise.

Bone Health: The low-impact nature of walking and the “gentle yet sustained loading” of the skeleton during a swing can improve bone density, making it an excellent ally for women during and after menopause.

Mental Clarity: Time spent in green spaces (often called a “Zen window”) reduces stress hormones, alleviates symptoms of anxiety, and sharpens cognitive function through strategic planning.

Score isn’t everything! Sometimes laughing at a bad round can be a good thing

Social & Community Empowerment – The social structure of the game fosters deep personal connections that traditional networking cannot match.

Supportive Environments: Women’s leagues and organizations like the LPGA Amateurs or Women on Course provide judge-free spaces to learn and share small wins.

Building Trust: Spending several hours together allows for “open and candid conversations” beyond work, naturally building the trust required for deep friendships and successful collaborations.

Confidence Booster: Overcoming the technical challenges of the game provides a sense of accomplishment that empowers women to take on new challenges in all other areas of their lives.

Spark a new passion, find your “tribe” of like-minded women

In conclusion: Forget the scorecard—golf is your new secret weapon for living your best life. It’s about claiming your space on the green and realizing that you belong exactly where the action is. Whether you’re looking to spark a new passion, find your “tribe” of like-minded women, or simply enjoy a beautiful afternoon with a glass of wine in hand, the game meets you exactly where you are. Don’t let the fear of a “bad shot” hold you back; every pro started with a swing and a miss, and the golf community is more welcoming now than ever before. It’s time to trade the sidelines for the fairway, embrace the laughter that comes with learning, and invest in a hobby that pours back into you. The course is calling—grab some clubs and discover the confidence you never knew you had!
