And That's That! Louise Suggs: Life Story of a Golf Champion | Authorhouse

Meet Louise Suggs, a Trailblazer in Golf and Women’s Sports

AND THAT’S THAT! offers more than a biography; it provides a window into the courage and early teamwork that helped launch the LPGA after World War II. Readers follow Louise Suggs from a dazzling amateur run to a powerhouse in the professional ranks, where precision, rhythm, balance, and grace shaped her signature swing. The text weaves in a sense of place—the green felt under bright morning light, the hush before a key putt, the cheers from a supportive circle of players and mentors.

The book notes her 60 professional titles and 11 major championships, achievements that place her among the sport’s most accomplished figures. It also foregrounds a community of women who built an organization from scratch, showing how leadership, collaboration, and integrity can transform a sport. The writing emphasizes not just wins, but the daily discipline, fair play, and spirit of mentorship that colleagues remember well.

A story that blends talent with purpose

Through first-hand reminiscences and carefully drawn scenes, And That’s That! captures the blend of personal warmth and determined ambition that defined Suggs’s era.
