Leadership Through Golf — Women’s Leadership Program Powered by Golf
Leadership Through Golf is PEARLs on the Green’s signature leadership program for women and organizations who want to strengthen confidence, composure, and decision-making — on and off the course. Blending professional coaching with guided golf experiences, this program is available for corporate teams, new members, and community cohorts.
Leadership Built on the Lessons Golf Already Teaches
Golf naturally cultivates confidence, composure, integrity, and resilience — the same qualities women need to lead well in corporate, entrepreneurial, and community spaces. Leadership Through Golf takes these principles and turns them into a structured, coach-led experience that your team or cohort can immediately apply at work and in life. If you’d like help exploring fit and pricing, you can schedule a conversation with our Leadership Development team.
Golf-Rooted Leadership Model
Every session connects a leadership principle to a live golf moment — stance at the tee, decisions under pressure, and responses after a tough shot.
Corporate & Community Cohorts
Offer Leadership Through Golf as a corporate program for women in your organization or join as a member/individual in a PEARLs on the Green cohort.
On-Course Practice, Off-Course Impact
Participants practice courage, communication, and strategy in real-time situations, then translate those insights into everyday leadership decisions.
Beginner-Friendly, Golf-Optional Experience
No golf experience is required. We meet participants where they are — from never holding a club to confidently playing with colleagues and clients.
Leadership Through Golf Curriculum Snapshot
The program is delivered in a series of guided sessions (typically 3–6), each anchoring a leadership theme to a golf moment. Corporate engagements can be tailored to your culture, level of leaders, and available time.
| Segment | Leadership Focus | Golf Application | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setting Your Stance | Self-Awareness & Intentionality | Pre-shot routine & alignment | Clarify values, vision, and internal posture before you “step up to the tee” in key decisions and moments of influence. |
| Confidence, Composure & Courage | Emotional Steadiness | Taking the shot under pressure | Practice routines that build confidence, regulate emotions after setbacks, and support courageous decision-making. |
| Communication & Influence | Voice, Presence & Collaboration | Playing in a group & reading the green | Explore how you communicate, give/receive feedback, and show up with presence in both quiet and high-visibility spaces. |
| Strategy & Decision-Making | Vision, Planning & Ownership | Course management & club selection | Learn to see the whole course, not just the next shot — making wise trade-offs and taking ownership of your choices. |
| Resilience & Recovery | Growth Mindset & Bounce-Back | Responding after a bad hole | Build habits to reset, refocus, and move forward with grace and grit when plans change or things don’t go as expected. |
Sample outline only. Corporate and community cohorts can be customized in length, format, and depth based on your goals, schedule, and the golf setting (indoor simulators, practice facilities, or on-course play).

Leadership Through Golf — FAQ
Do participants need to know how to play golf?
No. Leadership Through Golf is built to be welcoming to beginners and returning players. We focus on leadership, confidence, and presence — using golf as the learning environment. Golf skills are introduced in a supportive, low-pressure way.
Is equipment provided?
Yes, basic equipment can be provided or shared for most experiences, especially for beginners. If your team already plays, we simply ask them to bring their clubs and any personal gear they prefer to use.
Can you bring Leadership Through Golf to our company or city?
Yes. While many experiences are hosted at partner locations in Atlanta, we can explore travel options or partnerships with courses and indoor facilities near you. Corporate engagements are scoped individually based on location and schedule.
How does pricing work for corporate teams vs. individuals?
Corporate pricing is based on group size, number of sessions, location, and level of customization. Individuals and PEARLs on the Green members may join scheduled cohorts at set program rates. If you’d like to talk through the best structure and budget for your team, you can schedule a short pricing conversation with our Leadership Development team.
Is PEARLs on the Green membership required?
Membership is not required to bring Leadership Through Golf to your organization or to participate as an individual. However, members often receive preferred access and additional touchpoints throughout the season.
