Gloria, a multi-sport athlete, was introduces to golf by her father and uncle who needed a fourth to round out their group. Under the watchful eye of the pro at the local muni, she developed her game and, after an exhibition by Tommy Bolt at their local course, she was really hooked. Moves to Florida for junior college and then to Connecticut, allowed her to compete, with some success, in amateur events before she decided to turn pro and earn her Tour card in 1965. Listen in as Gloria remembers the women who were instrumental in founding and growing the LPGA Tour.
