When ‘The Jazzy Golfer’ walked outside the ropes at the AIG Women’s Open at Carnoustie last year as a spectator, women in the gallery approached her to say they’d taken up golf but couldn’t find other women in their area to play with – could she help?
Jasmine, who goes by “Jazzy” and prefers not to divulge her surname for security reasons, went to work on an idea that would mirror Parkrun, a robust collection of 5K races that take place in parks across the United Kingdom on Saturday mornings.
“People basically register, turn up and run,” said Jazzy. “I felt like that was a really good model.”
