Interview with Daniela Rengifo
Miami-based Golfer, Influencer, and Board Member of LEGS Golf Miami

Q1: You've always been athletic, but golf wasn't always on your radar. How did you end up getting into the sport?

Daniela: I've always been athletic, playing sports since I was a little girl, but honestly, golf never appealed to me initially. I thought it looked kind of boring and never considered trying it. In 2022, after joining a tennis league, a friend invited me to a golf lesson. Since I had no plans, I decided, why not?

From the moment I hit my first shots, I was hooked. Golf offered the kind of rewarding challenge I love. Now, I can't imagine my life without it.

Q2: You're passionate about golf and share your journey online. What inspired you to start influencing through golf?

Daniela: I’m naturally passionate and go all-in when I discover something I love. Golf can feel intimidating for newcomers, so my goal was to make it approachable and encourage others to step outside their comfort zones.

 Despite working a corporate job, I've always prioritized following my passions. My vision is to make golf accessible and relatable, both in Miami and eventually across the globe, by creating multilingual content. Ultimately, I want to inspire women of all ages to realize it's never too late to start something new, push themselves, and find joy in the journey.

Q: Tell us about LEGS Golf Miami and what being part of it means to you.
Daniela: LEGS, which stands for Ladies Executive Golf Society, is all about providing a welcoming community for women through golf. Joining LEGS Miami gave me a network of driven, passionate women who support each other both on and off the course. It's truly empowered me to improve my game and build meaningful relationships—I love my LEGS ladies!

Q: Golf can feel intimidating, especially for women. How do LEGS Miami and your platform help break that barrier?
Daniela: Visibility is everything. When women see others having fun, learning, and excelling at golf, it reduces intimidation. LEGS Miami fosters an environment where women feel confident stepping onto the course, regardless of experience level. Through my content, I reinforce that golf is truly for everyone—you don't need to be perfect; you just need to show up.

Q: What's been your biggest challenge as a female golfer and influencer in Miami, and what achievements are you proudest of?
Daniela:
Balancing a corporate career, content creation, and personal golf improvement are some challenges I face sporadically. I've faced burnout, imposter syndrome, and had to learn content creation from scratch. Miami’s competitive social media environment adds another layer of complexity, but I stay focused on building a genuine, engaged community.

 I'm proud that I've never quit—even during the tough times. I've maintained consistency, pushed myself to improve, and achieved significant milestones like completing my golf fitness certification and working toward my TPI certification. Traveling to tournaments, meeting incredible players and golf content creators, and partnering with brands I admire have all been part of this rewarding journey.

Q: How does LEGS Golf Miami help women build connections and network?
LEGS isn't just about golf; it's about genuine connections. Through events, casual play, and social gatherings, we connect women from diverse industries. Golf is an amazing networking tool, and LEGS makes it easy to build friendships, partnerships, and career opportunities.

Q: How would you describe your personal golf style, and what's important to you when choosing golf gear?
My golf style is sporty, feminine, and focused on functionality. I love brands that aren’t afraid to push the envelope and bring a modern twist to golf fashion. I’m drawn to bold colors, unique patterns, and designs that make a statement, all while maintaining performance and comfort. I think there’s room for all styles in golf, but I personally love how certain brands are moving away from the traditional and offering something fresh, inclusive, and empowering. For me, golf is about personal expression, and I want my gear to reflect that—feeling confident and true to myself on the course, no matter where I am in my journey!

Q: Any advice for women curious about golf but hesitant to try?
Just start. You don't have to know everything right away. Golf can seem daunting, but the best way to learn is by getting out there and having fun. Surround yourself with supportive people, take small steps, and don't fear mistakes—everyone begins somewhere!

Q: How do you balance content creation with your own improvement in golf?
It's always evolving. Initially, perfectionism slowed me down, but I've learned to prioritize practice and improvement first. Now I jot down content ideas as inspiration strikes, rather than overthinking every detail. I've found my best content happens naturally when I'm fully present in my golf journey.

Q: What's next for you and LEGS Golf Miami?
Continued growth! I'm focused on becoming a better golfer, expanding our LEGS community, and creating more opportunities for women to play. I'm excited about upcoming travels to iconic golf destinations like Casa de Campo and other world-renowned courses. So many exciting tournaments, events, and collaborations are ahead. I'm fully committed to this journey—the best is yet to come!
