fore the ladies finds
volume 3, issue 5
Hi there!
Welcome to fore the ladies finds: may edition. Where do I begin? We just returned from Camp Bandon Presented by Seamus Golf and although I never went to camp growing up, I’m pretty sure this Bandon Dunes trip was the closest I’ll get! We had the best time and I think all 23 of us are counting down to our next trip (and that’s saying something with the insane weather we faced!). These golf getaways are so special and I know it’s cheesy, but the friendships and memories (on and off the course) we take home with us remind me how amazing the FTL community really is.
Speaking of, one of our campers was Sutton from Ladies Only and I wanted to give her a shout out for joining a FTL golf getaway for the first time! They have a huge sale right now, check it out!
We obviously came out of the trip with some #content and we hope it’ll inspire your next trip to Bandon Dunes (yes, you should absolutely book one). Bookmark this blog for our packing tips, golf suggestions and more. Listen to our podcast with seven of the ladies who came on the trip and you MUST read this article by Chelsea K., “Bandon Dunes [Chelsea (Taylor’s Version)].”

protecting
I'm looking forward to less layers and sunnier rounds, so I'm restocking my go-to sunblock to keep in my bag. This one is great, easy to put on and it comes in some fun tropical scents too. -sara
wearing
Upon arrival at Bandon Dunes, I panicked and realized I didn’t have a warm waterproof jacket. My friend Alexis hadn’t arrived yet, so she brought this lululemon one for me and it was a lifesaver (thank you!). Now I know it’s almost summer and we’re packing up layers, but there’s always a brisk morning or two, and this jacket is water resistant! Immediate purchase. -abby
layering
I highly recommend snagging these thermal base layers while you can - they look chic on their own yet are very warm and thin enough for layering. Both were in rotation throughout Camp Bandon. The Athleta option has certain colors currently priced at more than 50% off original retail. -kristen
capturing
A retro idea for your next trip, or for a round with the gals: disposable camera! I can't wait to get ours developed from Bandon. -sara

wearing
I recently picked up this hoodie from my pro shop. The fabric is super soft and the length is perfect. After many failed attempts of trying to make many of the men's line options work, I'm thrilled to add this to my rotation. Note, the fit is slightly oversized. -kristen
shopping
I was #influenced by my friend and camper Annie who wore the mid layer style of this top at Bandon Dunes. The pattern is so cute and I know I’ll pair it with white and black skorts all season. J.Lindeberg has so may fun patterns and colors right now. I. am. here. for. it! -abby
wearing
Shout out to my Zero Restriction rain jacket for keeping me dry during some insane weather at Bandon! I've already bought a set of pants to go with them for the full suit. If you have inclement weather on the horizon I can't recommend it enough. -sara (abby co-signs!)
gifting
My Bandon souvenir purchase is the perfect momento to take a few cold bevs on the go. Personally, I'm envisioning putting this Jones Shag Bag & Cooler to good use during some backyard barefoot chipping contests! This also makes a great gift. -kristen (abby would like to note that Kristen made an ace on Bandon Preserve - the logo featured here - congrats!)
