Empowering women on and off the course.

Fairways is a dynamic experience providing executive development, fostering new friendships, and building strategic relationships through the venue of golf.

LPGA golf professional, Jamie Fischer, and finance executive, Laura Linger, have created this annual event to bridge their communities with a common goal: preparing women to thrive both on and off the course.

Over the course of 13 years, Fairways has grown substantially. What started as an idea between friends has grown into a highly anticipated annual event with amazing speakers, swag, attendees, sponsors, and so much more. In that time, we’ve also been able to donate a portion of the proceeds to two amazing organizations aligned in expanding opportunities for girls and young women.

Fairways 2025 will feature inspiring talks, executive presentations, and a keynote lunchtime speaker followed by your choice of 9 holes of golf at Conway Farms or a clinic with award-winning women instructors.
