Our Story

Group of six women standing together on a golf course, smiling, with snow-capped mountains and green landscape in the background.

Golf Like A Girl was founded in January 2025 by Victoria (Tory) Kronschnabel. I fell in love with golf when I was seven years old. I played with my family every weekend after church on Sundays. I coached for the First Tee of Minnesota for five years and at Grand Elk Golf Club for two years.

I trademarked Golf Like a Girl as a vehicle to bring accessible golf through free lessons to all women and girls. My mission is simple - free golf lessons for women and girls so golf can become more of a family sport. All too often women are excluded from important conversations that happen on the golf course. Golf Like A Girl is here to give women the ability to not only crush the ball but also close the deal.

    She brings over seven years of teaching experience, having coached with The First Tee of Minneapolis for five years and Grand Elk Golf Club for two years. Today, Tory teaches at the Birdie Lounge in Fraser, CO, and at Hyland Hills in Denver, where she combines instruction with community-building.

    Kristi Hemmer

    Kristi Hemmer’s muse is to create chemical reactions within an individual and collective: a catalyst.  She believes that by inspiring changemakers to be unapologetic, they will disrupt the systems of power and create a more equal and safer world for women and girls. 

    As an educator for more than 20 years, she saw firsthand  girls/women shrink in a classroom, a community, and worldwide; it made her mad enough to quit her six-figure job, travel the world learning about social entrepreneurship and the GIRLeffect, and start her own social enterprise: AWE (Academy for Women’s Empoerment). Ironically in the process, she realized her eight-year old dream of being an author (Quit Being So Good), being President (of her own company), and starting her own school (Academy for Women’s Empowerment). 

    When Kristi is not coaching women, writing, or teaching, she is spreading good around the world out of her medium sized, black, The North Face duffle bag. She has been to all seven continents and 65 countries. 

    Kristi Hemmer has her M.Ed. in counseling, over 20 years in education as a teacher (preK- college), counselor, and principal, and her coaching certification from an ICF certified program.
