With an astounding record of lifetime contributions to the game of golf off the course, Mary Bea Porter-King begins her life story by recounting her early life on the course. Taught at a young age by Betty Hicks, who introduced Mary Bea to many of the game's greats, her game developed quite quickly. She golfed with Eddie Merrin's UCLA golf team while still in her teens, and had access to famous courses and people in and around Los Angles. As an all-around athlete, Mary Bea set off for Arizona State University where she lettered in four sports and was named College Athlete of the Year. Listen in as she recounts those early years and remembers the kindness of the Solheim family which provided an opportunity to pursue her life-long goal, playing on the LPGA Tour.
