Proceeds from the book support the EWGA Foundation. The highly-charismatic Swensen is also a member of WIGI, a thriving networking organization for women working in the golf industry.
Following Swensen’s enlightening presentation, other WIGI members will be featuring their unique books one-on-one during the wine networking reception.
