With all of the bad news surrounding professional sports - indictments for vicious dog-fighting, mob-related gambling, questionable steroid use, and engine rigging - I think we’re in need of a feel-good story from the game of golf. No, not another story of a young guy beating the odds and shooting 20-under par to win his first Major, but a story of a senior female golfer from Meridian, Mississippi.

This Friday, Lou Weddington Hart will join her dad, H.D. Weddington in the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and become the first father-daughter duo inducted into the Hall. Hart has had a stellar golf career, winning more Mississippi Women’s Golf Association State Amateur titles (9) than any other woman in state history.

Before Annika Sorenstam played with the men on the PGA Tour and before Michelle Wie was even born, Hart was playing on the men’s golf team at Meridian Community College. Twenty-six years later she went onto coach the men’s golf team.

Thanks to the coaching she received from her father at an early age she can add another honor to her scorecard and share a Hall of Fame victory with him.

And we all lived happily ever after. The End.

37 days until college football starts!!
