Iron Lady
STEPHANIE SZOSTAK
Profession: Actress in this month's Iron Man 3.
Obsession: Golfing.
When did you start golfing? At age 10. My dad took me to the golf course on the weekends.
Experience: I took a year off after high school and played in tournaments all over Europe.
Highlight reel: A couple of years ago I was the only female celebrity who participated in the Bob Hope Classic. I played from the men's tee!
Favorite courses: The European Club in Ireland, The Royal County Down in Northern Ireland, and my own club—The Saint Andrews Golf Club in New York.
I love: My TaylorMade Rossa putter.
I wish:You could wear golf clothes that looked good but didn't look like you were going to play golf.
I used to: Swear in French on the course. Nobody knew what I was saying.
Now I say: Golf is just like life. You can be playing great, and then have a terrible hole. You have to forget what went wrong and keep playing.
BEGINNER'S TIP: "Find a girlfriend to start with you," says Szostak. "It's intimidating when you don't know how to play."
