You know their names, you’ve seen them on TV, but did you know you might run into one of these twelve celebs on the links?!
From actors and fashion designers to influencers and politicians, the one thing these women all have the one thing in common: they’ve been bitten by the golf bug.

2. Kyle Richards Umansky
Any Real Housewives junkies will be familiar with Kyle Richards from the show’s Beverly Hills franchise. Kyle’s husband Mauricio is quite the golfer, and earlier this year she cheered him on as he fired a 69 to make the cut at the PGA TOUR’s Desert Classic.
But Mauricio isn’t the only member of their family who’s made making a splash on the golf course – perhaps he took the initiative to #inviteHER to the game?
Kyle’s been known to trade getting dressed to the nines for brunch with dressing for nine with her girlfriends (trendy hats included).
3. Vera Wang
In an interview with InStyle, designer Vera Wang admits that while she’s no pro, she’s an enthusiastic golfer who uses golf as a tool to “engage.”
“I’m not a huge exercise person, but I love to play golf at Liberty National, in Jersey City, N. J., or at Atlantic Golf Club in the Hamptons if I happen to be out there,” she said. For Vera, it isn’t about how well she plays.
It’s all about the enjoyment of the game. “I’m terrible but enthusiastic.”

Kate’s favorite club is the driver, just like Arnie’s.
