  • Isabelle Shee: Making an Impact Through Golf and Socks
    It may have taken Isabelle Shee a few times to figure out where she belonged in the golf industry, but the persistence and positive attitude to get there proved worth it. After playing college golf at UC Riverside and later transferring to the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Shee discovered playing professionally wasn't going to be the path for her. On the verge of burnout and still experiencing some uncertainty about her future, Isabelle Shee began to find her niche as a golf influencer. Eventually, this evolved into finding her passion as a now business owner of Is.Golf - the world’s first planet friendly performance sock made with recycled plastic and coffee. You can learn more about Isabelle and her company on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/is.golf/?hl=en) or check out her website is.golf (https://is.golf/).
