To know her was to love her. What a gem! The younger crowd would probably call her “ The Bomb.” Her huge infectious smile; her positive attitude towards all things and people; her ability to always see the glass half full ; her constant encouragement to those around her to be the best they could be; her fun loving personality…these are just some of the impressive qualities that made her (in my eyes) the GOAT ( greatest of all time). It was a privilege to have known her as Terri was Priceless.
Terri loved her golf. She embraced the game as she did life. My rounds played with her were always a delight. You knew at some point that iPhone would come out and she would prop it up on her golf bag, set the timer, and the run over to her playing partners for the day and viola , the picture would snap. She made everyone feel so special. I don’t know how many times I would say “Wow” after she would hit that little white ball a mile down the fairway. Sometimes she would try to make the game more fun by hitting the ball on other peoples fairways and work her way back to the hole in which she was actually playing. On occasion my playing partners would say, “ Look that group must have had someone quit….they only have three now.” I’d have to correct them and say, “ No, they still have four…. You just can’t see Terri.”
Terri was a real student of the game…. Always listening to tips from Keith, Minnow or Betty and many others. She improved immensely over the years. This was highlighted by Terri and Betty winning the Ladies Lynk Electric golf tournament a couple of years ago.
A memorable moment this year was during the Breton Brewery tournament. They sponsored a longest drive for the women on number five. It was the longest drive ever. We couldn’t wait to arrive at the marker to see who hit it there. To those of you familiar with #5 at Lingan , the ball came to rest on top of the hill , adjacent to the end of the tree line on the right. It was a remarkable drive. On the fairway and long. Terri accomplished this feat. I will never walk past that spot without thinking of her.
To Keith , Christian, Betty, Minnow and family….. you were so lucky to have this wonderful person in your lives… albeit for too short a time. I think Terri would allow a few tears to be shed but then would tell us all to get on with it and go make a difference in this world. Thinking of you all ❤️
