SAN FRANCISCO, JANUARYÂ 3, 2007— Founder and designer of women’s luxury performance apparel manufacturer, Iconicâ?¢ Sport, Leslie Chow, will appear as the profile subject for the Member Spotlight segment of the 2007 Bluebook edition of the NCGA Golf Magazine.
The member spotlight is a regular feature of the quarterly publication, NCGA Golf, which is mailed to over 180,000 Northern California Golf Association members, as well as each of the 400 member golf clubs. Individuals chosen for the two page spread are selected by the NCGA Golf’s editorial staff with subject suggestions coming from a variety of sources.
Founded in 1903, and based in Pebble Beach, California, the NCGA is one of the preeminent regional golf associations in the world, with a membership that stretches from the Oregon border to central California, and eastward into northern Nevada.
NCGA Golf is its official publication, and has been heralded as one of the most respected regional golf magazines in the country. The annual Bluebook edition—published every January—was honored by the American Society of Association Executives as the number one directory of its kind. Along with regular features on golf courses, resorts, travel destinations tournaments, rules, and other golf related subjects, the Bluebook also includes a comprehensive listing with details and maps covering each of the member courses throughout northern California.
A former NASA research scientist, with engineering and business degrees from MIT and Stanford, Chow launched Iconicâ?¢ Sport at last year’s PGA Merchandise show, in an effort to fill what she viewed as a void in high-styled women’s performance-enhanced golf apparel. An accomplished multi-sport athlete and avid golfer, she noted performance advancements in other sports’ apparel that had yet to be adapted to women’s golf.
Based and manufactured in San Francisco, Iconicâ?¢Sport is targeted at the upscale, fashion conscious, female athlete, who truly desires something special in her choice of golfwear. The line incorporates golf-specific design elements as well as high tech fabrications in unique combinations of print and solid garments.
As the Founder, President, and Chief Designer of Iconicâ?¢Sport, Chow has been a key participant in the northern California women’s golf summits.
The Iconic line can be seen at the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show in booth # 8155. For appointments, or further information on Leslie Chow and Iconicâ?¢Sport, please check: www.iconicsport.com.
