Jane Blalock - Part 2 (The Early Wins)

FORE the Good of the Game

In this captivating second episode of our four-part interview series with Jane Blalock, you're in for a special treat as we dive deep into the legendary golfer's incredible career and experiences on and off the course. Co-hosts Mike Gonzalez and Bruce Devlin lead the conversation, discussing everything from Jane's earliest days on the LPGA Tour to the electrifying tournaments that made her a household name.
Jane shares the stage with some of the greatest names in women's golf—Louise Suggs, Patty Berg, Marilyn Smith, and Kathy Whitworth, to name just a few—and reveals how she found her own unique place among these stars. She takes us through the unforgettable moments, like her wins at the Suzuki Golf International and how beating Kathy Whitworth was nothing short of "very, very special."
The episode goes beyond the scorecards and trophies, providing listeners with a look into the camaraderie and struggles of women in golf. Jane reminisces about the early days of the LPGA Tour, describing it like a "traveling circus" where players would caravan from one city to the next, united in their love for the game and each other. And for a dash of nostalgia, she even recalls the era's CB radios, though she can't quite remember her handle.
But what truly sets this episode apart is how it captures the human element of the sport. Jane shares delightful anecdotes, such as John Cook and Mark O'Meara being her "lucky charms" during key wins, adding a layer of personality and sentimentality that is often overlooked.
Don't miss this chance to hear from one of the golfing greats in her own words and if you love what you're hearing, please spread the word, "FORE the Good of the game."
