June is National Women\u2019s Golf Month. To celebrate we are featuring a few of the incredible women who are a part of the PXG Troops. 

Meet Renee Parsons<\/a>, President and Executive Creative Director of PXG Apparel<\/a> and Co-founder of The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation. A fashion entrepreneur and skilled business executive, Renee is the driving force behind the design and development of PXG apparel. Under Renee\u2019s direction PXG is leading a style movement focused on delivering high-performance, fashion-forward apparel to golfers on and off the course. 

A passionate philanthropist, Renee and her husband Bob, PXG Founder and CEO, are focused on providing hope and life-changing assistance to vulnerable, underserved and marginalized populations through The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation. Renee is both a Giving Pledge signatory and a member of the global organization Women Moving Millions. She is most passionate about supporting causes focused on women, children and education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PXG asked Renee the following questions to learn more about why she chose golf, what advice she has for women in the golf industry, and more. Here are her responses: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO GOLF?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was first introduced to golf and the rules of the game as a young businesswoman. I worked in sales in the hospitality industry and golf was part of that experience. However, it wasn\u2019t until I met my husband that I started playing golf more regularly. I started out playing 9 holes once a week and slowly began to work my way up to playing 18. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY ON THE GOLF COURSE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite memory on the golf course is making a 20-foot putt for eagle, and some cash, on #17 of The Other Course at Scottsdale National Golf Club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE OTHER WOMEN INTERESTED IN THE GOLF INDUSTRY?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advice that I would give to women in ANY industry: There are no limits to what you can do. If it\u2019s your passion, you will do great things and achieve the highest levels of success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS THE BEST PART OF YOUR JOB?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of my job is having the opportunity to execute on my visions for PXG Apparel Worldwide and see customers respond positively to what we\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS THE BEST CAREER ADVICE YOU\u2019VE RECEIVED AND HOW HAVE YOU APPLIED IT TO YOUR CURRENT POSITION?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNothing takes the place of hard work and knowing the job from the bottom up.\u201d In all aspects of my working life and career, I started in that way. For example, my first job was making Coney dogs in my family\u2019s restaurant at age 13, I worked my way up from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT WAS YOUR DREAM JOB AS A KID AND WHY?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dream job was to be in fashion and design apparel. I sketched dresses and silhouettes as a young girl and always had an interest in beautiful things. Fashion, art, and interior design are all interests of mine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TELL US ONE THING PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very hands-on with everything that I do. I love creating the overall vision for the company, but no detail is overlooked. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
