COMMUNITY
For too long, golf has felt intimidating, exclusive, and designed for people who already know how to play.
Too many women have been invited to golf only to say no because they don't know the rules, don't have anyone to play with, or worry they'll embarrass themselves.
Too many women's golf events celebrate low scores instead of courageous first steps.
I believe women shouldn't have to earn the right to feel like they belong on the golf course.
They should feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.
I BELIEVE WOMEN DESERVE A DIFFERENT GOLF EXPERIENCE
THIS IS MORE THAN A GOLF EVENT...
This is where women come together.
Driven By Her was created because women deserve an event designed with them in mind.
Maybe you've wanted to meet more women who golf.

MEET YOUR HOST
Ashlee Kastelen is a Canadian PGA Class A Professional, former touring professional, and the founder of The Golf Girl Community.
Over the past 20 years, she has helped hundreds of women learn the game, build confidence, and feel more comfortable on the golf course. Through her experience as both a competitive golfer and coach, Ashlee realized that most women don't struggle because they can't hit a golf ball—they struggle because golf can feel intimidating.
That realization inspired the creation of Driven By Her.
Ashlee set out to create the kind of event she wished more women had access to—one where you don't have to know everything before you arrive, where questions are encouraged, friendships happen naturally, and the focus is on enjoying the game together.
Golf has given Ashlee incredible opportunities, lifelong friendships, and experiences she'll never forget. Through Driven By Her, her goal is to help more women discover those same opportunities through the game of golf.
My hope is that Driven By Her becomes the place where those same opportunities begin for you.
