How Fore Sistas Golf Is Empowering African American Women

Founded by Phyllis Gillespie, Esq, Jean Laws-Scott, Martha Clark, Debra Williams, and Lynn Solomon, Fore Sistas was born out of a shared passion for golf and a desire to make a meaningful impact. “I started playing with Lynn and Martha just for fun,” Phyllis recalls. “As we played, I noticed women of color on the course and started collecting phone numbers and emails.” This led to the creation of a GroupMe account that now connects over 80 women, ranging from beginners to exceptional players.
