The first time I had the opportunity to chat with Erin Samson Barney was via Zoom, four or five months ago. And just like when you first meet another woman you barely know anything about, you do that thing. You know…the thing where you're sitting a little straighter, being a little more polished than usual because you're still feeling each other out.
But somewhere between venting about wanting tee holders in our golf skirts and forgetting our pitching wedge on the last hole, I totally dropped an F bomb. Fully by accident. I immediately apologized on instinct, because heaven forbid I disappoint my grandmother by not being lady-like.
But lo and behold, the walls immediately came down when Erin laughed and said, "No need to hold back. You're in good company."
Ever since then, we've been able to jump right into the real stuff. The honest stuff. No performing required. And once you get to know what she's building, you realize that "you're in good company" isn't just candid conversation. It's part of the entire thing she's stitching into women's golf apparel with her brand, ERIN BAILEY.
