Jenny Lidback - Part 1 (The Early Years)
The winner of the 1995 du Maurier Classic, Jenny Lidback, begins her story recounting life as the daughter of an Italian mother and a Swedish father growing up in Lima, Peru. Born into a golfing family, Jenny's grandfather was one of the founders of Lima Country Club and access to the game and great instruction enabled her to develop her game quickly. After a move to Baton Rouge, Jenny began taking lessons from Gardner Dickinson in Palm Beach, Florida and she performed well in Junior events around the country. She chose Texas Christian University for her collegiate golf where she was a 2-time All-American and won an NCAA team title in 1985. She moved to LSU for a final season of golf before professional golf beckoned. Listen in as Jenny Lidback takes us through her early days, "FORE the Good of the Game."
