There's only one group in San Antonio capable of bringing a flurry of color to your local golf course. Chips & Walk — like chips & guac — is on a mission to make golf less intimidating for women of all backgrounds.
– There’s only one group in San Antonio capable of bringing a flurry of color to your local golf course.
“Chips & Walk is an interesting story,” said Chips & Walk Social Golf founder Jessica Ibarra when asked how she came up with the name. “I used to be quite envious of my husband getting lots of steps at the end of the day, because he worked in the golf industry. I would always ask him, ‘How many steps did you get?’ and he was like ‘18,000′ or ‘23,000.’ And I was getting 200.”“That really stuck with me,” Ibarra said. “So that’s the ‘walk’ part.
“This is what we needed,” Chips & Walk participant Karla Mejia said. “I’m a part of the running community as well and the running community is big in San Antonio. But golf right now is something that we actually needed.” “It’s a really nice place to come and meet other women of all -- young, to my age and older,” Chips & Walk participant Elsa Cazares said. “It’s amazing. It’s a great environment. I love it.”
