Wilhelmina 7 â€“ More Than Just Pretty Faces

Back when the Wilhelmina 7 was announced in June of this year it was an unprecedented move for the world of golf. The famed agency signed seven LPGA Tour members in order to “to complete a void in the marketplace for beautiful and athletically talented female golfers”, according to Wilhelmina Chairman Dieter Esch. In addition, each member has past accomplishments in more than merely being attractive golfers that just happened to make it on the Tour. The group represents a diverse assembly of women from many backgrounds around the world. The original press release states:

“The W⁷ includes only those women with the game, the beauty, and the personality to create a major presence in women’s sports, both on and off the course. The ladies chosen range from newcomers such as Sandra Gal and Anna Grzebien to 8-year professional Johanna Head, as well asStacy Prammanasudh who has amassed two career victories and was selected to represent the USA at the most recent Solheim Cup. Minea Blomqvist who competes on both the LPGA Tour as well as the Ladies European Tour (LET), was awarded the 2003 Rookie of the Year Award and has finished in the top 10 on the Order of Merit List twice as a member of the LET Tour. Other members of the Wilhelmina 7 team, Mikaela Parmlid and Kim Hall, started strong this season and are fully exempt status on the LPGA Tour for the 2008 season.”

Not convinced?

Stacy Prammanasudh was a three-time Academic All-American from 2000-2002 in her time at the University of Tulsa and also won ten collegiate events in her time there.

Anna Grzebien received a degree in Psychology from Duke University and was on three NCAA Championship teams.

Sandra Gal was an NGCA Academic All-American in college for the University of Florida from 2005-2007 and won four tournaments at the college level.

Kim Hall was a two-time MVP on the Stanford women’s golf team and received a degree from the prestigious university in American Studies.

Johanna Head started winning championships in 1992 and was named to the 1994 European Junior Team.

Mikaela Parmlid was a nine-time member of the Swedish National Team, 2003 NCAA individual champion while a USC Trojan, and received a degree in Economics from USC.

Minea Blomqvist was a member of the Finnish National Ladies Team from 2001-2003 and a two-time member of the PING Junior Solheim Cup Team.

Just recently, the women of the W⁷ spent time at the Boys and Girls Club of Montgomery, AL and treated 100 children to learn more about the game of golf. Each told their story of where they came from, how they started in golf, and offered words of inspiration. By the end of the day, they were able to show the kids that golf is fun.

Each woman in the group has enjoyed successes at the professional level in many events around the world. The group truly represents the global nature of golf and athletic women that are not only beautiful on the outside, but inside as well.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

Therabody Theragun Relief

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.

From the listing:
