Podcast appearances and mentions of Jane Geddes

In this first installment of our four-part conversation with two-time major champion Jane Geddes, FORE the Good of the Game co-hosts Mike Gonzalez and Bruce Devlin take listeners on a journey back to Jane's unlikely beginnings in golf—and what a story it is.Born and raised on Long Island, Jane Geddes never set foot on a golf course until the age of 15. A move to Summerville, South Carolina left her feeling like an outsider—until a chance introduction to the game changed her life forever. With no prior experience, no clubs of her own, and no country club pedigree, Jane's golf journey began with a single seven-iron and a generous teaching pro, Derek Hardy, who saw something special in her swing from day one.Jane reflects with honesty and humor on the cultural shock of moving to the South, the loneliness of high school, and how golf became her unexpected refuge. From shag bags and Walmart clubs to developing her game on a neighborhood driving range, this is a raw and inspiring look at how talent, curiosity, and a bit of fate launched one of the great careers in women's golf.You'll hear how she went from a complete unknown to walking onto the Florida State team, and how pivotal influences—including Derek Hardy, Dave Pelz, Jim McLean, and Dr. Bob Rotella—shaped her game and mindset.This episode offers a rare glimpse into the humble and heartfelt beginnings of a future major champion. Jane's story is proof that greatness can come from the unlikeliest of places.Subscribe and stay tuned—Jane's journey is just getting started, "FORE the Good of the Game."Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

Jane takes us back to 1986, when she burst onto the scene with a stunning victory at the U.S. Women's Open at NCR Country Club. With humility and humor, Jane recounts her mindset heading into the championship, including the surreal feeling of playing in a “bubble,” her unmatched confidence in her swing, and how that week's chaotic backdrop of tornado warnings, evacuations, and even an earthquake couldn't shake her focus.Jane's story doesn't stop with that first major. She followed up her U.S. Open triumph by winning again the very next week—kicking off a remarkable 12-month stretch that saw her notch seven victories, including her second major at the 1987 LPGA Championship. We relive her playoff win over the legendary Sally Little, her bold media remarks that nearly backfired, and her steely resolve to back up her words with her clubs.Jane's insights into her game—how she thrived on tough courses, loved playing in the wind, and used her strengths in ball-striking and confidence to outlast her peers—offer a compelling look at what it takes to break through at the highest level. With stories of competing against Hall of Famers like Betsy King, Nancy Lopez, and Patty Sheehan, this episode paints a vivid picture of one of the LPGA's most competitive eras.Join us as Jane reflects on the whirlwind of success, the challenges of sustaining momentum, and the joy of knowing—if only for a time—what it feels like to truly be in the zone.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

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.

In this week episode I interview my good friend legendary golf instructor Jim McLean, who is one of the most prolific golf instructors of the last 30 years. He is known for coining the phrase “X-Factor”, observing that the greater the differential between the hips and shoulders at the top of the swing, the more power the golfer can create. He pioneered the use of video for golf instruction and was one of the first adopters of radar technology used in swing analysis tools like TrackMan. He is also authored and sold over 15 different books and videos, and taught some of the greatest golfers of our generation. Including, Sergio Garcia, Curtis Strange, Gary Player, Bernard Langer, Al Geiberger, US Open champions Liselotte Neumann, Jane Geddes, Lauri Merten, Ben Crenshaw, Tom Kite, Webb Simpson, and Hal Sutton to just name a few. Actually, its over 100 PGA tour players but who is counting.Jim McLean is CEO of the Jim McLean Golf School, which operates from eight locations.Support the show
