Also, surprisingly, men make up about 40% of our current customers. How connected can they feel?

Some facts about our business to help your brainstorming?
60% of current customers are women, 40% are men (many are golf pros). Customers are asking for product categories in addition to golf. One key corporate goal is to build a community of resources for all newcomers to golf. Golf remains one of the most difficult sports to learn as an adult but there are best-practices to know and we will provide those resources.
36% of our revenue comes from non-golfing gift shoppers buying gifts for golfers.
One idea we like is to find a name that reflects the power of women and men who manage busy lives, careers and family. But then there are those pesky male shoppers!
Golf is one of the most difficult sports to master as an adult, especially to people who do not consider themselves an athlete. Our long-term plan is to become an excellent resource center to golfing newcomers.
Moms Who Golf is a two year old e-commerce company was built initially to address the niche market of women golfers. Women are the fastest-growing segment of the golf market. Golf is no longer a man’s sport. Today, women account for approximately one-quarter of adult golfers in the U.S.—an estimated 5.8 million female golfers. The women's golf market has become a $1 billion worldwide business.
Women golfers come to golf older than men but stay with the sport longer according to the National Golf Foundation. The average age of women golfers is 45, while the average age of men is 44. The median age of avid women golfers is 56. Thirty-seven percent of women golfers are fifty or older, compared to 32% for men.
