Author Jodi Walker wrote the book Honey I Love Golf But I Love You More! to help women understand why men love the game so much and how they too can enjoy the game. Men and women learn to create a lifestyle that will keep them enjoying the "sweet spot" in golf and in life. The book brings a unique perspective on golf, love and life that both men and women can enjoy. Jodi's research even found one study that discovered golfers may even live longer. The PGA Tour shops at the airport have the book available if you are traveling.

Jodi created the Golfers Wife of the Year contest to honor the women behind the scenes and also create an awareness about the beauty of the sport to those women who might be new to the game.
