Who is she?

Lets play a guessing game. Figure out who this is:

As a teen-age pro with no money, she hung out in Florida and played matches against Ted Williams, giving him shots, until Williams was banned from the public course they were using for bashing in tee markers with his driver.

Who is she? She sounds tough.

Babe Didrikson Zaharias - just a guess.

Here's a guessing game of my own, Mike.

In early 2000, LPGA legend Peggy Kirk Bell was having troubles with her game. She went to a certain male professional and, well, let's listen to her tell it in her biography, The Gift of Golf:

"Before long he had me straightened out. I was breaking my left wrist down through impact. I wasn't extending through the ball. I went from hitting a six-iron on the par-three third hole at Pine Needles to an eight-iron. Now I can't wait to get back out there. In fact, we've incorporated the drills ________had me doing into our golf schools. I'm sure _______ will one day be recognized as one of the great teachers of the game."

Now for the question...

Who was this professional?

And the answer is....

Our own Annikan Skywalker.

David Orr!

And the answer is....

JUDY JUDY JUDY (in my best Cary Grant voice)

Judy Rankin !

I read a column written by Frank Hannigan saying she should be the next Ryder Cup Captain (and first Augusta female member) and mentioned "She has a great history of tolerating male jocks.." and brought up the Ted Williams story. Lynn you are right, that low outside pitch makes fools of us all.

Just thought I'd clarify those last names to avoid any confusion with other well-known TGM names.

Tommy (Armour).

Benny (Hogan).

Davy (Orr).
