She Makes Golf Kind: How Soft Life Swing Society Is Getting Women Into Golf | Jenefeness Franke

What if the only thing standing between a woman and a lifelong love of golf is one simple invitation: "just show up, we'll lend you the clubs"?

Host Colin Weston sits down (literally, on the side of the road in her car!) with Jenefeness Franke, founder of Soft Life Swing Society, to talk about the movement she's built by putting clubs in the hands of women who were too intimidated to even look at golf as an option.

With nearly 190 women signed up, a donated "club closet" stocked by PXG and local supporters, and weekly Tuesday tee times at Meadow Park Golf Course, Jenefeness shares the real stories behind the growth - from a perfectionist who now drives 200+ yards to a widower who found love on the course. If you've ever felt like golf wasn't for you or you want to build a community of your own, this one's for you.
