Turning an Avid Golfer’s Idea into the Next Best Golf Gift

Turning an Avid Golfer’s Idea into the Next Best Golf Gift

Hello fellow golfers, I am Alicia, Co-founder at Rota Golf, and a woman whose love for the game extends far beyond the fairways. For me, golf has always had a way of teaching me timeless values like integrity and perseverance. It shows me about resilience as I weather the highs and lows of the game, as I learn from both victory and defeat.  

However, golf is more than just a test of skill—it's a way to set goals. It’s a constant reminder of where you are at and where you want to be, whether this is a personal goal or golf related. The special thing about goal setting is they can be uniquely your own, or shared. One of mine and my husband's goals throughout life is being able to travel. This mutual travel goal inspired us to embark on this journey of creating a brand that celebrates not just the game of golf, but future adventures. Our mission was to create a top of the line product that uniquely documents and celebrates your golfing milestones, a brand dedicated to showcasing golfers' accomplishments of playing the Top 100 public golf courses in the United States. The perfect golfer’s bucket list.

But for me, Rota Golf is more than just a collection of courses; it's also a celebration of women in the golf space. Year after year I am seeing more women enter the golfing world and I have to say, I love to see it! As a female golfer myself, I understand the importance of representation and support for women pursuing their golfing dreams. Through Rota Golf, I aim to empower women to set ambitious goals, conquer new challenges, and embrace the beauty of the game in their own unique way. 

Golf is also just as much about family as it is one's individual journey on the links. This sport has been a common thread of great experiences I have had with my immediate family. Whether it’s stories from my father-in-law’s time in the golf industry or sharing a few laughs with my brother-in-law over a meal at the 19th hole after a round, golf has truly brought us together. There is something about being out in nature for 4-5 hours with family that allows you to get closer over great conversation and even some light-hearted competition. With Rota Golf, we can’t wait to cross off more courses on our family bucket list!

Speaking of bringing people together, my husband and I have always had a dream of starting a local business here in Gig Harbor, WA where we live, that offers a product or service crafted right here in the Pacific Northwest. So, when my husband thought of the idea to create our Rota Golf Centurion Map so that he could track his rounds played at the Top 100 U.S. courses, it was a no-brainer to try our hardest to make this product and also offer it to others. And just like that, our dream came to life, while only working with Northwest based companies. After many months, late nights, lessons learned and hardwork, we are proud to bring you Rota Golf, an exceptional piece of golf memorabilia that can track your rounds at the most premier courses the U.S. has to offer. We are thrilled to be serving our local Gig Harbor community in addition to other avid golfers throughout the United States. 

Lastly, I have always had a passion for design and the arts. I’ve always loved the idea that you can express yourself through color, texture, shapes, and materials. These mediums are how we tell an artful story of who we are, our dreams, and life’s intentions.  This inspired me to bring this passion into every facet of Rota Golf. From helping craft the ambiance of our website, wanting that timeless allure of our old-world logo, brand colors, to the refinement of our product's stains and frames, and even down to the smallest detail—the selection of our branded tees—each element was selected for a specific reason. My commitment is to enhance the golfing experience for women and men alike, making every aspect of Rota Golf an embodiment of sophistication, style and expression.

So, with that said, as my husband and I stand side by side, bringing Rota Golf to life, we show up everyday with a goal to embody the spirit of teamwork, creativity, and dedication. Together, we want to inspire others to dream big, chase their passions, and live for new adventures. With every swing of the club, every tee on the board, we continue to write a story of adventure and camaraderie. 

Tag along on this journey, and let's make every moment on the course a masterpiece of inspiration and achievement. ⛳
