Hi John,

Please pass along my regards and thanks to Lydia for all of her efforts, on behalf of NJSIAA and girls golf within NJ.  I know you both will be sorely missed at our events moving forward, but you know that girls golf is in good hands with Al at the lead…he will keep Lydia’s enthusiasm and passion to increase participation in girls golf moving forward.

 

I hope you both stay healthy and safe, and enjoy your real retirement!

 

Take care,

Lydia and John, 

 

Thank you both for everything you have done to expand girls golf at the high school level.  Without your efforts and perseverance the sport would not continue to grow as it has. Many young women in NJ owe their college and professional success to your efforts. I want to personally thank you for your helping me transition into my role as the director of golf at the NJSIAA. Your guidance and suggestions have helped me be successful.

 

On behalf of the NJSIAA and all the girl golfers in NJ I want to wish you and John a long and healthy retirement.

 

Allan  J. Stumpf

NJSIAA Assistant Director

STEPHANIE TURCI ROCKS!!!!

I invite all former high school girls golfers & GGGers to Checkout her new cool MEMORY film in production.

Johnny & Coach Lydia are very proud & look forward to seeing you in NYC, baby!!!

" I'm so thankful for your support, and you've been an inspiration to me as a coach and a person throughout my life. I'm proud to say that I have a crew of all women working on this film. Playing with the GGG energized me to consistently work to support the other women in my field. Hopefully, this film helps inspire other women to get behind the camera. "

Hi everyone: 

I know this seems like I have become a food blogger and not a Girls Golf blogger. 

Well, nutrition and golf do go together. Some of you may recall Team L & J and our long journey on the Vector Borne Illness trail.

Bottoms line:dairy free, egg freee and other stuph has made my digestive life easier. I have always loved PLANTS, err I mean vegetables and fruits--a plant-based diet has many positive benefits personally.

PBJ aka Pretty Boy Johnny is now on the semi-plant trail.

I will keep you posted.

Keep your minds open to changing how and what you eat on and off the course.

You will note many pros are opting for more nutritious snacks on the golf course i.e. NOT a hotdog.

See you soon---on the course, on the BOCCE court, on the trails---know that we LOVED time spent on the golf course, the bus, the practice green, bunkers, rules quizzes in the hallway, weight-room and girls go golfing with ALL of you. 

Your Schoolhouse Pals,
Lyd 2.0 for Lyd & Johnny
