9 woman-owned businesses to support this Women's History Month

1. Foray Golf

Foray Golf, founded by former Victoria’s Secret executive Meghan LaMothe, offers feminine golf clothing options with premium fabrics and fun patterns. LaMothe’s designs are fashion forward, but they also keep the practical needs of female golfers in mind: The simplest details, such as ample pockets in the right places, demonstrate this awareness. The brand—which launched its golf line in 2017—just released a women’s activewear collection that emphasizes a combination of comfort, utility, and style.  

2. Addison Bay

This activewear company prioritizes designs for women on the go. Founder, Marguerite Adzick—a former college athlete who has worked in the fashion industry for years—recognized a need in the market for functional, yet stylish athletic wear. The brand is meant to be worn by all generations of women: The preppy, but sporty designs are fitting for the golf course, the gym, and everywhere in between. 

3. Hedge

Hedge, founded by avid golf and tennis fans Meagan Ouderkirk and Antonio DiPaolo, aims to bring an old school elegance back to modern golf and tennis apparel—without the stuffiness. The brand’s sleek vintage-inspired dresses, skirts, and polos are designed to be versatile and performance-ready. Pieces transition seamlessly from golf and tennis to dinner or events and always feel comfortable, put together, and feminine.

4. Mumford Golf

Calla Mumford launched her first collection in March 2022 after picking up the game during the pandemic only to find a major absence of appealing golf apparel options, especially for those new to the scene. Soon after this realization, Mumford set out to build a brand that gives women timeless and effortlessly cool options for both golf and non-golf settings. Mumford Golf’s designs are meant to be transitional — she wants female golfers to be able to wear her pieces without thinking they're in "golf clothes." Plus, the collection is great for all body types.

5. Ame & Lulu

In 2003, Amye Kurson launched Ame & Lulu when she noticed a gap in well-designed but trendy golf and tennis accessories. The company has developed into a lifestyle brand which promotes a classic, colorful, and feminine approach to everyday must-haves for active women. From shoe bags to head covers, Ame & Lulu carries a variety of practical, yet stylish accessories golfers will appreciate.

6. JoFit

Joanne Cloak started her golf apparel company, JoFit, to empower women with confidence both on and off the course. Not only did she set out to create well-fitting golf clothes for every female golfer’s needs, she wanted to make a difference in a historically male-dominated sport. Despite warnings from colleagues and friends about the challenges of entering the apparel industry, Cloak successfully created a golf brand that encourages women to push the boundaries of the game with bold and cheerful designs.

7. Scratch 70

Erica Hyman originally founded this small business to create sporty yet elegant golf dresses. Since Hyman started the brand, Scratch 70 has expanded and offers separates that appeal to all body types. The brand uses colorful palettes that allow for mixing and matching. Stripe details, the occasional pleat, and feminine patterns give Scratch 70's pieces a fun, yet classic look

8. SheWarrior

As a sustainable black-female owned athleisurewear brand, SheWarrior strives to inspire every woman’s inner creative and competitive spirit. Founder Natlyn Jones, wife of boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. and mother of three, started SheWarrior with boxing values in mind. After two years of fight training, SheWarrior was born from Jones' appreciation for the discipline and dedication required to box. SheWarrior’s colorful and patterned activewear sets will brighten up your next gym or range session without sacrificing comfort or quality performance elements. 

9. Inside Story Golf

This golf sock company was founded by former UC Riverside golfer Isabelle Shee. As a junior golfer, Shee was known as the “sock girl,” and decided to transform her nickname into an entrepreneurial venture. Inside Story now offers dozens of 80’s inspired socks, which are sustainably made from recycled plastic and coffee grounds.
