Lori with beloved Purdue Coach, Gene Keady | |
What's a fun fact or hobby outside of golf that you'd like to share with the group?
- I'm a Boilermaker. I love to travel and have stepped foot on five of the seven continents. I'm fluent in French and went to France the first time by myself at16. I play the flute and handbells, and I sing. I've performed in several productions with the FW Civic Theater with my favorite roles being Mrs. Potts in "Beauty and the Beast" and the Bird Woman in "Mary Poppins". I'm a snowbird, spending 5 months at our beach house on Jekyll Island, Georgia. I live in my mother's basement!!

How long have you been playing golf? What inspired you to join the LPGA Amateurs and what do you hope to gain?
- I'm kind of embarrassed to say how long l've been playing golf because I should probably play a LOT better than I do. But playing golf and working at it are two different things! I joined the LPGA Amateurs to connect with other women golfers who could inspire me to improve my game. I started playing golf when I was seven. A friend and I started the girls' golf team at Snider in the Fall of 1978 We weren't any good - we just wanted to play golf, have a team, and have a chance to earn a letter!
What's your favorite golf course or golfing memory?
- Crazy memory - Junior golf, I was maybe 9 years old. Playing at Colonial Oaks. While I was on the tee, one of the girls in my group walked across the tee box, directly behind me! Right in the middle of my backswing!!! My driver head connected with her mouth, causing her bottom lip to get caught in her top braces. She had to go to the dentist to have her lip unstuck!!
Do you have a preferred golfing buddy, style, or strategy when playing?
- I enjoy playing with different ladies each week so I can get to know more of our league members.
