    A Life Well Played - Kris Tschetter

    She played on the LPGA for 25 seasons, becoming a household name to fans of women's golf.   Coming from Sioux Falls, South Dakota to attend Texas Christian University, little did Kris Tschetter know what life had in store for her.  As a Division 1 player, she searched the Fort Worth area for a regular practice facility, eventually joining Shady Oaks Golf Club.   It was there that she was befriended by Shady Oaks most famous member and indeed one of the finest players to ever swing a golf club.  Of course, that member was none other than the legendary Ben Hogan.   In this episode, we chat with Kris Tschetter about her career on the LPGA, including some of her favourite experiences and cherished memories.  She takes us back to life in a camperized van,  trekking across the United States, playing golf and listening to the radio.    She then shares with us a little bit of her experiences on the practice range with Ben Hogan -- the player renowned for spending hours hitting golf balls, perfecting his swing (as much as one could).  She tells us of the experience and of the time that he made a surprise visit to support her at the US Women's Open played at the Colonial.   After retiring from the LPGA, she became active in setting up a charity, and spending time with her family.  She would eventually join the Legend's Tour and take some time to write a book about her personal experience with "Mr. Hogan".   You won't want to miss this treat.
