The Education of a Woman Golfer
(This wonderful biography of one of America's most amazing...)
This wonderful biography of one of America's most amazing sports figures was written in 1979 - the year after this talented athlete completed her first full tour in the LPGA. From About.com: "Nancy Lopez burst onto the golf scene in a blaze of glory, then settled in for a long ride - interrupted by the birth of her children - that inevitably took her to the World Golf Hall of Fame. Lopez's father, Domingo, introduced her to golf at age 8 and tutored her. She won the New Mexico Women's Amateur at age 12, the U.S. Junior Girls Amateur in 1972 and 1974. Playing the U.S. Women's Open as a 17-year-old amateur in 1975, Lopez finished tied for second. In 1976 Lopez was named All-American for her play at Tulsa University. She left college after her sophomore year and turned pro in 1977. That year she finished second again in the Women's Open. In her first full season on the LPGA Tour, 1978, Lopez's charming personality, megawatt smile and amazing golf propelled her into superstardom. She won 9 titles total, including 5 tournaments in a row. She made the cover of Sports Illustrated, won the Vare Trophy, and named both Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year. What did Lopez do for an encore? She won another 8 times in 1979. In 1985, Lopez posted 5 wins, 5 seconds and 5 thirds, won the money title, the scoring title and the Player of the Year Award. She played only 4 tournaments in 1986, when her second daughter was born. But again, Lopez came back to win multiple times in 1987-89 - 3 times each in 1988 and 1989 - and once again won Player of the Year honors in 1988. Her schedule was curtailed again in the early 1990s when her third daughter was born. But in 1992 she won twice. Lopez continued to play short schedules - from 11 to 18 tournaments - through 2002, then in 2003 cut back to just a couple events a year before eventually retiring. There is no doubt that Nancy Lopez is one of the greats in the history of women's golf."
