FORE the Good of the Game

Jane Blalock - Part 1 (The Early Years)


Listen Later

Step onto the fairway with us as we feature the legendary Jane Blalock in the first installment of an engaging four-part interview. Hosts Mike Gonzalez and Bruce Devlin dig deep into Jane's inspiring journey, revealing not just the golfer, but the person behind the achievements. From humble beginnings at New Hampshire's Portsmouth Country Club to becoming an LPGA Tour stalwart, Jane's story is a treasure trove of trials, triumphs, and life lessons.

As a 27-time winner on the LPGA Tour and the holder of an unbroken streak of 299 consecutive cuts made, Jane Blalock is more than just a list of accolades. This episode explores her early mentorship under renowned instructor Bob Toski and uncovers how her competitive fire was ignited. She candidly discusses her initial skepticism about turning pro, revealing forks in the road that could have led her to graduate school instead of the golf course.

What makes this interview so poignant is the back-and-forth between Jane and Bruce Devlin, a fellow golf legend. Bruce’s familiarity with golf course design brings out lesser-known facets of Jane's career, including her play on iconic courses that Bruce himself had a hand in designing. The two share laughs, nostalgia, and insights into the evolution of golf over the decades.

Whether you're a die-hard golf aficionado or new to the game, this episode offers a compelling look at the life of a golf great, from early challenges to undeniable success. Don’t miss out on this captivating conversation. Tune in and be inspired by a woman who not only broke records but also shattered ceilings, "FORE the Good of the Game."
