Golf4Her, an online golf clothing retailer, will be outfitting Blackwelder with all of the labels that are represented on their website (www.golf4her.com). Blackwelder said about Golf4Her, "I feel like I have the best deal on tour because I get to wear so many different brands that display my personal taste of clothing on the course!"
She will be working with Abigale Lynn, a new fashion-forward accessory label, to create a “Mallory inspired” line of ball markers. These ball markers can be used on a hat clip or on a new accessory, the ball marker bracelet which she will be wearing this season.
She is working with Pukka Headwear to design a custom headwear with her signature “MB” logo. "There are so many different options for hats and I can’t wait to wear all of my unique designs," said Blackwelder.
The newest sponsor is the transportation company SuperShuttle. She is so happy to have their support for this season! You will see the SuperShuttle logo on her golf bag and also be wearing their logo on her shirt. For transportation, especially to and from the airport, SuperShuttle is the way to go!
All of us at Golf4Her wish you a kick-ass season! Go get that card.

Father, daughter team up
Mallory Blackwelder has dad working as caddie
By PETE DOUGHERTY Staff writer
Published 12:50 a.m., Thursday, September 8, 2011
ALBANY -- In 23 years as a professional caddie, Worth Blackwelder has carried clubs for some LPGA greats, including Beth Daniel, Juli Inkster, Cristie Kerr and Saratoga Springs' own Dottie Pepper.
Another well-known name, at least to him, will walk alongside him this week in the Price Chopper Tour Championship at Capital Hills. It is his daughter, Mallory Blackwelder, a 24-year-old second-year player on the LPGA Futures Golf Tour.
It is far from the first time Mallory has had her father on the bag. He stopped carrying fulltime on the LPGA Tour last year when his daughter turned pro, but they try to maintain a golfer-caddie relationship.
"It's going to be a little different because she's my daughter," Worth said, "but we've done it together for a long time. Ninety-nine percent of the time we get along really well. I don't think we've had but one bad day.
"It was in Turkey on the LET last year. She was tied for the lead, it was her second Ladies' European Tour event, and she got off to a bad start on the second round. I was probably trying to over-caddie a little bit, and she basically told me to back off. We don't fight. I treat her like I would treat Juli Inkster or Cristie Kerr or Dottie Pepper, and she treats me like a tour caddie that she hired. We keep the father-daughter part out of it."
Worth's wife and Mallory's mother is the former Myra Van Hoose, the 1980 LPGA Rookie of the Year. The two Blackwelder children, son Myles and daughter Mallory, spent their early years running through the bunkers of LPGA courses.
"I played basketball and volleyball when I was younger," Mallory said. "That was more fun because it was a team sport, and all the girls at school that I was friends with were doing it, but they made me play my first (golf) tournament when I was 11. I shot lke 68 for nine holes. It's not like I was a child prodigy.
"I met other girls who played golf. They weren't from my area, so I started playing on the junior golf tours and liked it, and I progressively got better pretty quick."
Despite missing four tournaments this season, Blackwelder is 28th on the Futures money list. A victory in this week's season-ending tournament would get her to the top 10, which offers LPGA conditional status for next season.
Blackwelder said she gets help from both parents. Her mother is her swing coach. Her father helps with course management, short-game strategy, etc.
"I don't realize how good she was," Blackwelder said of her mother. "If you look at the Rookies of the Year, before and after her. It's like Nancy Lopez (1978) and Beth Daniel (1979) and like big, big names (including Patty Sheehan in 1981). She never won on the tour. She finished second several times, finished fifth at a U.S. Open. When my brother and I came along, life changes."
The family lives in Versailles, Ky. , where they operate the Blackwelder Golf Academy. Worth spends time on the road with his daughter, hoping to help her career the way he did for several LPGA players -- including Pepper.
"Dottie's very intense," Worth said with a laugh. "Everybody knows that. You don't want to catch the Dottie stare. When a border collie wants to hurt someone, he's going to give you that stare. That's the Dottie Pepper bordie-collie stare. I have seen her just rip guys who are volunteers. They paid their $70 for a shirt and their khakis, they're holding a sign, Dottie will move them out of the way if she needs to.
"She was great to me. I enjoyed caddying for Dottie. I like her intensity. ... We've stayed friends. She's interested in Mallory's career. She'll email or call me to ask he she's doing. She's a good person."

Mallory Blackwelder will Compete on Golf Channel’s Big Break Ireland
![]() |
Golf4Her Brand Ambassador |
Blackwelder is the daughter of 13-year LPGA veteran Myra Blackwelder and professional LPGA caddie Worth Blackwelder. After traveling worldwide with the LPGA and Ladies European Tour in 2010, Mallory is competing full-time on the LPGA Futures Tour in 2011.
“The decision to compete on the Big Break was easy,” says Blackwelder. “I love to compete and this is the perfect opportunity for me to prove to myself and my family that I have what it takes to compete at the highest levels of golf.”
Big Break Ireland, is scheduled to premiere Sept. 20 at 9 p.m. ET, featuring a cast of six men and six women competing against each other in an attempt to make real their lifelong dreams of playing alongside the world’s top golfers. The ultimate male or female winner will be awarded two tournament exemptions from the four exemptions up for grabs, which represent events on the LPGA Tour, European Tour and Ladies European Tour. The winner also will receive a host of other prizes.
“Mallory is an extremely ambitious woman and embodies all that is great about golf,” said Christina Thompson, owner of Golf4Her. “As far as competing, there is no doubt that Mallory has the physical skills and mental toughness to walk away the next winner of Big Break Ireland. Golf4Her is excited for Mallory and, like everyone else, can’t wait for the premiere in September.” During the 10 weeks the show airs, fans will have the chance to interact with Blackwelder on the Golf4Her Facebook page.
Filmed on location in June at The K Club in Kildare, Ireland, Big Break Ireland will unfold on the resort’s two championship golf courses – the Palmer Smurfit Course and the Palmer Ryder Cup Course. Both designed by Arnold Palmer, the Palmer Ryder Cup Course is consistently ranked as one of the top-3 parkland courses in Ireland. The Palmer Smurfit Course, in contrast, is an inland links course, with dramatic landscapes and dune-type mounding throughout. In addition to hosting the 2006 Ryder Cup, The K Club also has hosted 13 European Opens on the European Tour.
