Golf Hawaii’s guest this week is LPGA veteran Juli Inkster. Juli’s golf resume is bookended with brilliance. In 1982 she became the first woman since 1934 to capture three consecutive U.S. Amateur titles. During the decade of the 90’s while multi-tasking as mother of two, her march toward the World Golf Hall of Fame was relentless. Today, with her family still the highest priority, Juli’s record shows 31 LPGA victories, 7 major championships and over $12 million in earnings.
