Sherri Steinhauer - Part 2 (2006 Women's British Open and The Solheim Cup)
Winner of three Women's British Opens, Sherri Steinhauer, reflects back on the one that counted as a major, in 2006 at Royal Lytham. She fondly remembers her teacher, the late Manuel de la Torre, long-time professional at Milwaukee CC and recounts her other Tour wins and the physical and mental challenges that present themselves when playing golf at the highest level. Sherri was a 4-time member of the Solheim Cup teams and is proud of her undefeated record in foursomes and singles play and she enjoyed her stint as an Assistant Captain to Rosie Jones at the 2011 Solheim Cup. Sherri Steinhauer, now a serious pickle ball competitor in her retirement, wraps up her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
