New York, N.Y. (July 9) – LPGA Professional Teacher & Coach, Gladys M. Lee has joined the African American Golfer’s Digest online portal, becoming part of its team of talented bloggers.
Lee, is Founder and Executive Director of the Dallas, T.X.-based Roaring Lambs International Junior Golf Academy, an organization that was established in 1986 as a charitable and educational entity, dedicated to encouraging the participation of multi-racial, inner-city youth in junior golf activities. The organization operates year round, providing instruction and play for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. It has been the programs mission to use golf as a means of instilling self-discipline, honesty, commitment, integrity and proper manners in youth.
“I am very excited to make our readers aware of the talents and experiences of Gladys Lee,” said Debert Cook, publisher of the African American Golfer’s Digest. “Her contributions will echo the years of experience and knowledge that she has developed from working with youth and I believe her blog will share her wisdom and help grow the game, enable more tournament participation among African American youth golfers and perhaps even motivate them, their parents and golf coaches around the nation to be more proactively involved. I am confident that Gladys will enlighten and inform our readers on how to positively overcome their challenges while navigating their way to success.”
Lee has over twenty-five years of experience in improving the lives of young people through the game of golf and she has taught golf at Twin wells Golf Course in Irving Texas, and at the Jim McLean Practice Range in Fort Worth, Texas. Prior, Lee worked for over twenty years in the aerospace industry, in a broad range of manufacturing operations, inventory control and procurement, and quality control with firms including Lockheed Aircraft, Northrop Electronics Division, Perkins Research, Litton Data Systems, Thompson Ramed Woolrich /TRW, Texas Instruments and General Dynamics. Lee also worked as a production coordinator for Dick Clark Productions (American Bandstand) in Burbank, Calif. where Carrie Clark (Dick’s wife) encouraged and introduced her to learn and pursue a new level of golf and the concept of “Golf is More Than A Game.”
“I am honored. This is a great opportunity and I look forward to sharing my monthly blog with the readers of the African American Golfer’s Digest, said Lee. “With electronic media continuing to grow throughout the world, being on-board to share my experiences as a blogger with the publication’s website readers is exciting! I have seen a lot of golf and I can tell you there are people that play golf and then there are true Golfers.” Lee continues her thoughts on the subject throughout her very first monthly blog entry, located online at
