"She’s Playing College Golf. She’s 63."
/WSJ’s Jason Gay profiles Debbie Blount, an underclassman and Georgeia’s Reinhardt University and playing on the golf team. The sophomore is 63.
Now she longed for a change. “After my husband passed away, I was getting stale,” Blount said. “I love golf, but I’d lost my passion for it, and I was looking for something fun and different.”
Her path returned her to Reinhardt, a school she considered more than four decades ago. “It was the combination of golf and getting a degree,” she said. “I probably would not have gone back to school if I couldn’t play golf.”
It was a momentous choice. Blount’s the first person in her family to attend college.
“She’s doing something that she’s always wanted to do,” said Blount’s mother, Loraine Seidel, now 95. “Debbie, when she makes up her mind to do something, she does it.”
There is lots more and it’s not behind the paywall, so enjoy.
