In Part 3 of our captivating four-part conversation with 11-time winner on the LPGA Tour Jane Geddes, we follow her remarkable journey through one of the most successful and adventurous stretches of her LPGA career. With honesty and humor, Jane reflects on the realities of life on tour—moments of quiet solitude after victory, the grind of relentless travel, and the friendships that made it all worthwhile.

Jane shares unforgettable stories from her international triumphs, including wins in Australia, Japan, and Jamaica. From late-night karaoke, impromptu toga parties and crazy bus rides in Japan to becoming a fan favorite on Australian television, her vivid recollections offer a behind-the-scenes look at the camaraderie and chaos that shaped an era. We also revisit her 1989 Women’s British Open win—before it was recognized as a major—and how the evolving landscape of women’s golf continues to impact Hall of Fame criteria.

Throughout this episode, Jane discusses the nuances of playing firm and fast golf overseas, her playoff mindset, and her preference for challenging courses where par is a good score. We dive into her hot streak in the early ’90s, her close call with Karrie Webb in a marathon playoff, and the joy of representing the U.S. in the 1996 Solheim Cup—the first American team to win on foreign soil.

With trademark humility and warmth, Jane offers a unique window into a globetrotting career filled with trophies, lessons, and laughter. Whether you're a fan of golf history or simply love a good story, this episode is not to be missed.

Listen now as Jane Geddes continues her inspiring and entertaining journey, "FORE the Good of the Game."
