PARLO: How’D WE GET HERE?
Founded by writer, editor, and amateur golfer Lacey Veal, PARLO is an independent quarterly newspaper and regional archive exploring the wider world through the lens of golf. Rooted in the cultural richness of Black women’s lives, PARLO makes room for a more expansive conversation about the game and its place within women’s sports, moving naturally through travel, hospitality, food, style, design, business, and the arts. With an appreciation for great storytelling, distinctive perspectives, and the people shaping culture, the newspaper brings these worlds together through original essays, interviews, observations, and discoveries.
Beyond the printed page, the PARLO Regional Archive offers a thoughtfully curated exploration of golf courses and the places surrounding them, from the character of a clubhouse and the experience of women on the course to the hotels, restaurants, neighborhoods, and gathering places that make a destination worth returning to. Together, the newspaper and archive reflect a simple belief: golf is more than a game. It is an invitation into new places, unexpected relationships, good conversation, and a life rich with things worth knowing.
