Power Links LLC Launches New Website for Professional Women

Power Links LLC announces the launch of its newly updated Web site www.powerlinksgolf.com. Founded in 2007 by Lauren Mead Ludden and Chrissie Chen Pariso as a resource for professional women to learn about golf and utilize the game as a business tool, the company has gained a following of over 700 successful, professional women members.

Power Links is an effective resource for women who want to find information about golf courses, products and events in one comprehensive site. By providing a non-threatening and supportive environment where women can access a range of golf resources, Power Links gives women one outlet where they can learn about golf and bond with other successful business professionals within a community that encourages mentoring, networking and friendship.

“I truly believe golf is a valuable business tool for professional women,” Pariso says. “Golf is a great way to network with colleagues and build relationships with clients in an informal, fun environment.”

In order to provide its members with even more valuable golf resources for what Ludden calls “A Virtual Country Club for Professional Women,” Power Links has been hard at work renovating their site to make it more user-friendly and interactive for members. The new site will roll out in August 2009.

“Our new website was built in response to overwhelming demand for information about golf for women,” Ludden says. “We’re aiming to become the leading resource for professional women to find information about golf so they can more easily use the game as a business tool.”

“It will be a great resource for women to learn about the game, find other women to play with, develop her game and most importantly, it will give women courage to get out on the course,” Pariso adds.

New and updated features of the Web site include the following:

1. Social Network: Set up like a Facebook for female golfers, the Power Links social network allows users to create their own tailored profile, add pictures, write reviews, or chat about their favorite courses. A “Find a Foursome” application also helps members find and link up with playing partners in their area.

2. Course Database: One of the most anticipated features of the new Web site is the updated course database, which is now international. With over 15,000 courses and reviews from around the world, the database has an interactive map to help members easily find and review courses.

3. Clubhouse: The Power Links clubhouse includes an open forum for women to network and discuss any subject related to golf, business or any general topic, as well as share personal anecdotes or helpful links. Also prepared discussion topics such as “Ask a Pro” and “Golf Tips” serve as resources for members of all skill levels.

4. Pro Shop: Due to the large number of members requesting even more information about golf apparel and equipment, Power Links has added its own pro shop of favorite designers and brands. 

Membership to the Power Links community is free, and gives users access to other great resources such as the Power Links Blog, member events and clinics, golf links and tips, and the chance to network with other professional women interested in golf.
