A Warm Welcome from our CEO/Founder, LPGA PRO Ashaunta Epps

Greetings Fellow Golfers!           

     My name is Ashaunta Epps and I’m the CEO/Founder of A Perfect Swing, Inc.  I’ve worked in corporate America for over fifteen years, and I noticed that I was missing out on many networking opportunities because I didn’t play golf.  From the first time I picked up a golf club, immediately, I was addicted, and I practiced at least five days a week. I took a few lessons with a PGA and LPGA professional and continued to practice. Two months later, under positive duress, I played in my first fundraiser golf tournament. I spent several hours the night before researching golf etiquette on the internet. I was so nervous! I didn’t know anyone else, so I was paired with two women.  Just prior to the shotgun start, the women stated that they had been playing golf for twenty plus years.  Let’s just say, I was ready to unpack my clubs and run back to my car.  Just as the thought crossed my mind, the shotgun went off and we were off to our first tee. I had read many golf books, but during this day I learned some very valuable lessons:

              1. People that play golf are not as mean to rookies as I had heard.    

                  My partners encouraged me, and I made sure I had my golf course 

                  etiquette in check.

              2. You should always take ample snacks and drinks. I don’t              

                  remember the 11th and 12th holes of that tournament, but thanks to 

                  the protein bar from one of my partners, I was revived at the 

                  13th hole.     

              3. People that play golf regularly probably don’t play as well as you think 

                  they do. We played a scramble format and there were a few times that 

                  we used my ball on the following shot. Either that or they were taking 

                  pity on me.  Either way I was satisfied. LOL :)

This tournament was my splash into playing the game of golf. Since then, I’ve played in numerous fundraising tournaments and company networking/team-building events. Many people overlook the importance of golf as a networking tool due to the fear of the unknown. Unfortunately, just deciding to play the game of golf and then booking a TEE time is not enough.  There are several rules regarding dress, etiquette, and equipment that you need to know about before playing on a course.           

At A Perfect Swing, Inc. our mission is to help individuals use golf as a networking tool to advance in their lives.  On this site, you will find opportunities to learn and play golf at your own pace, while networking and having fun with others looking to do the same.  You will also find information on networking, communication, resume preparation, strategic planning, public speaking, and other life backswing assistance workshops.  There’s also information on how you can have A Perfect Swing provide individual golf instruction for you, a group of your friends/family, or present at your next team builder, event, or conference.

So, whether you are a beginner or a novice, A Perfect Swing, Inc. has a play time just for you. Please let me know if I can help. I look forward to seeing you on the course!      

Let's TEE It Up TOGETHER SOON!

Thank you!
