FORE the Good of the Game

Listen Later

Ready to tee off with golf legend Jerilyn Britz? We take a swing at the highlights of her career, the ups and downs on the LPGA Tour and her now famous resistance move taught by Joe Nichols; a game changer that catapulted her to a major win. Like an exhilarating round on the greens, we explore how Jerilyn traded her lack of confidence in tournament play for the thrill of watching a fellow competitor excel, proving there's much to be learned in the shared joy of success.

Pull up a seat on our virtual golf cart as we journey through Jerilyn's exciting tours in Japan and the Philippines, complete with entertaining bus rides and a peek into a famed shoe closet. It wasn't all about rhythmic strokes and perfect putts, though. Jerilyn's experience winning the 1979 U.S. Women's Open at Brooklawn Country Club proves how a relaxed attitude can be the secret weapon to overcoming challenges, even under intense pressure.

From the greens to the heart of her personal life, Jerilyn shares how her mother's 90th birthday turned her career towards a new path. Helping others perfect their swing at the VIP Golf Academy in Florida brought immense gratification, and her own skill at the game continues to be a source of joy. Celebrating her 77th birthday with 77 holes of golf, Jerilyn's zest for the game is a testament to her enduring legacy. Join us for this captivating conversation that's sure to inspire all golf enthusiasts, whether you're a seasoned player or a curious observer as Jerilyn Britz concludes her life story, "FORE the Good of the Game."
