Meet Me at the Tee: Women in Golf Looking for a new hobby? Look no farther than your local golf course. Golfing is a fun, outdoor, social, exercise activity that could also advance your career!

Boise (Amanda

Marino) is a 9-month-old Border Collie who was born on a farm in Idaho. He is extremely intelligent, friendly, energetic, and loves to go hiking and play fetch.

“An estimated 90% of fortune 500 CEOs play golf. According to Barrons, one quarter of the 25 million golfers in the U.S. are top management executives. The one problem is, not enough women are getting in on this great opportunity. Golfing is all about networking. Whether it be bonding with new clients or quality one- on-one time with upper management, that time on the course (and potentially drinks after) can be priceless in your career. Accor- ding to the Barron’s survey, 80% of golfers believe it is an important business develop- ment tool.”

Sully (Caroline Cianni) was adopted at 4 months old from One More Dog Rescue, a local CT rescue orga - nization. He is a Lab-Husky-Great Pyrenees mix and loves eating anything and everything: sticks, rabbit poop, asphalt chunks, dead birds, etc.
