ABOUT THE FOUNDER
MY GOLF CONCEPTION & History
During one my stays at the Marriott Sawgrass in 2014, I strolled the outdoor property and noticed a beautifully manicured landscape adorned by scenic water and greenery. As I walked up to the restaurant I noticed a young gentleman promoting a fundraising Hole-in-One contest to win a week's stay at the property. I proceeded to give him a $20 donation and tried to hit a golf ball onto what I know now as the infamous 17th island green at TPC Sawgrass. Now I didn't hit a Hole-in_one, but I was definitely hitting a full bucket of balls consistently. An on looker asked if I played golf, and I responded, "By no means sir. This is the first time I've ever held a club." He replied, "Well young lady you should take lessons because you're a natural!" Never will I forget those words and the exhilarating feeling I had of wanting to continue that experience. Because I have a natural competitive nature, I continued to think about how that game intrigued me. But, that was the day Golf found me!
Golf lessons for me started in 2016 at the age of 50 and continued for two years before I start experiencing the course life. Playing 3 holes here and there and then graduating to 9 holes. Then at the brink of the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020, I found myself engrossed with my new addiction of Golf and wanting to play and improve almost daily. Now 18 holes is a norm and I continue to work on my swing skills and scores. For me this isn't a game of perfection but of self discovery and development. Sharing the mental and physical aspects to others is an important element and how we handle each shot, just like life's experiences.
WHY THE BUTTERFLY GOLFER?!
I experienced the feeling of freedom after ending a personal relationship of five years. I lived in constraints without recognizing I had been in bondage and lived under narcissistic personalities from my partner. Did I really know it at the time one would ask...not assuredly, but I definitely felt it. In hindsight it was strategically masked with emotional love bombing and gas lighting. But after having the courage to end the relationship abruptly, a load was lifted from me instantly and I felt as free as a butterfly!
Now known as the Butterfly Golfer in the golf community I, Verbena McIlwaine, am humbly sharing my passion, experiences and determination to drive change and create a welcoming space for women in the sport. I birthed the Butterfly Golf Initiative in my local community to create opportunities for women of all backgrounds to participate and thrive in this trending space. With my mission of promoting inclusivity, I welcome you to join me on this Golf Journey to experience freedom and the joy of learning this incredible, yet challenging sport. Golf is an individual sport but you don't have to do it alone. No matter your age, it's never too late to start!
Adding a Fashion Collection and Golf Services to my Butterfly Golf Brand has now allowed the expansion of offerings and diversity to impact the Golf space.
