Anna Halliday: From Beginner Golfer to 100K+ Creator

Welcome to ‘Her Game’, the modern golf podcast bringing you conversations with inspiring women across the golf industry. In this episode, host Georgina Black sits down with Claire Griffiths, founder and CEO of CSARA, to talk about building a women’s golf clothing brand from scratch, the reality of starting a business and why she felt there was still something missing in the women’s golf space ⛳️Claire’s journey into golf only really began a few years ago, but after struggling to find golf clothing that felt fashionable, comfortable and wearable away from the course, she decided to do something about it. What started as an idea on a Sunday afternoon quickly turned into sketches across the dining room table, conversations with female golfers, investor pitches and eventually the launch of CSARA 🌟We talk honestly about what it actually takes to build a brand from scratch. From sampling, factories and rejected stock to raising investment, running social media, managing fulfilment and trying to stay one step ahead with future collections. Claire also opens up about the less glamorous side of founder life, the moments where it all feels like too much and why the journey is very different from the “sunshine and rainbows” you might see on Instagram 📸There’s also plenty of golf chat, including what it felt like being a nervous beginner, why golf can feel so exposing when you’re new to the game and how women’s golf communities helped Claire build the confidence to get out on the course. We also discuss the importance of female role models, social golf groups and making the game feel more accessible for women who may not have grown up around golf ⛳️Claire also shares her thoughts on how golf and business overlap, the value of networking through the game and why getting more women comfortable enough to take part in corporate golf could have an impact far beyond the course 📈Finally, we talk about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people, building a strong network and why having support around you can make such a difference, whether you’re learning golf, starting a business or trying something completely new 🙌Lots more to come from Her Game, so make sure you’re subscribed and following along.
