SAN FRANCISCO, JUNE 12, 2006 — Noted author and speaker Suzanne Woo and celebrated golf teacher Katherine Marren, are featured attendees who will be wearing outfits from Iconicâ?¢ Sport at this week’s Women’s Golf Summit at Pebble Beach, California.
An attorney, and the author of On Course for Business, and 72 Secrets for Successful Business Golf, Woo has become the pre-eminent guru on business golf. Among her recent credits is a chapter in Donald Trump’s latest book, The Best Golf Advice I’ve Ever Received. Marren is highly renowned as one of Golf for Women Magazine’s top 50 golf instructors and has received a number of teaching accolades. Both will be donning clothing from the newly launched Iconicâ?¢ Sport women’s golf apparel line. "I’m excited and honored that Katherine and Suzanne will be wearing Iconic golfwear at the 2006 Women’s Golf Summit," said Iconic founder and designer, Leslie Chow. "They’re both accomplished players with a discerning fashion sense, and their choice of Iconic is high praise indeed!"
Further testimonial came from Marren, who stated that "I’ve worn Iconic golfwear on the course and off — the fit, styling and fabrics are terrific, the design details are so thoughtful and really perform throughout the round, drawing compliments on and off the course."
The Women’s Golf Summit is being held June 13-14 at the Northern California Golf Association offices just adjacent to Poppy Hills Golf Course in Pebble Beach. Consisting of 28 selected invitees, the forum is a "who’s who" of key women figures from the Northern California golf industry. The summit will also include participation by Susan Reed, editor of Golf for Women Magazine. Participants will be discussing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats concerning recruitment and retention of women into golf. A range of topics from fitness to equipment, apparel, business, family, and time will also be among subject areas under discussion. "Looking good and being confident are just as important on the golf course as in the boardroom," said Woo (www.bizgolfdynamics.com), "Iconic will be a great outfit to wear for all facets of this event."
About Iconicâ?¢ Sport
Founded and designed by former NASA engineer, Leslie Chow, Iconic was launched at the PGA show in January 2006. Targeted at upscale women golfers, emphasizing sophisticated style and golf performance enhancement, Iconic was born out of Chow’s disenchantment with existing women’s golf apparel. Incorporating elements from both her engineering background and an innate fashion sense, Chow has created a high fashion statement, with functional design elements specifically intended for the serious player. Critical response and press coverage has been highly favorable, with Chow and Iconic as featured elements in various magazine articles. Iconic goods are being shipped this month to select pro shops and retail outlets. Learn more at www.iconicsport.com.
