The Hooton sisters -Libby 17 years old -Courtney 15 years old and Chloe Belle 12 years, old began- playing golf in 1999 and have been avid players since they started. They love the game and all of its challenges.

Every summer, they live and breathe golf and particularly enjoy the wonderful community of friends that they have developed. They love to read about the game, the players, and most of all, the fashions. Unfortunately, there are no known publications that are tailored to the junior audience.

Twenty-five percent of all golfers are women. However, through 2003, only 13 percent to 16 percent of junior golfers were girls source: National Golf Foundation . This is an audience that had been underserved by the traditional golf marketers. Until now.

Beginning in 2002, younger girl golfers began to have a big impact on the golfing market. Perhaps the biggest movement began when a young Hawaiian resident, Michelle Wie, began playing competitively in adult tournaments at the age of 12. Many have estimated that Wie will have the biggest influence on women s golf ever seen. However, there are also a number of other very young golfers making their mark on professional golf. In 2005, Paula Creamer was the second-highest ranked woman golfer by the time she was 18. Morgan Pressel just missed winning the 2005 women s U.S. Open while still a junior in high school. Many ofthe LPGA tour s top players are in their early twenties.
