STROKE OF THE DAY |
"I’ll always remember the day I broke ninety. I had a few beers in the clubhouse and was so excited I forgot to play the back nine. " |

![]() Talk about how you got started in the game. My husband Brian, who is Scottish, first introduced me to the game. I talk all about it in the first chapter of my book, "Token Chick: A Woman's Guide to Golfing with the Boys." What prompted you to write "Token Chick”? The gift and joy golf has brought to my life. Also, I wanted other women not to be intimidated by the sport. What is your current handicap? Are you working on anything in particular right now? My current handicap is around 18. My swing is getting a little flat so I'm working on getting my club in proper position at the top of my backswing. What's your most treasured golf possession? I have won some trophies that I am very proud of, but my most treasured possession is my Scotty Cameron putter. It has been very kind to me. Your most cherished golf memory? Getting a hole-in-one - twice! The first time Jimmy Connors was present and more recently I got my second hole-in-one at a celebrity golf tournament at Riviera Country Club. What's the strangest thing you've ever seen on the golf course? I once played in a tournament on a military base in the Philippines. If your ball even remotely strayed off the fairway someone would steal it and later try to sell it back to you. Including yourself, who would make up your ultimate foursome? Bobby Jones, Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Katharine Hepburn. |
