Golftini unknowingly erupted 18 years ago when owner and designer, Susan Hess, couldn’t find any stylish women’s golf clothes to wear on the course. She set out to NYC garment district and found a sample maker, and designed her first skort.

Soon after, Susan started selling skorts to friends and golf shops. After hearing about the PGA golf trade show, she signed up and received her first big order.

Sounds easy, right? No not at all. While raising 3 boys, without a fashion degree or any business background she figured out how to make it work.
