Lois Levine - Class of 2002

(Negaunee)

Although she did not learn how to play golf until nearly age 40, Lois Levine became the first woman to win four straight Upper Peninsula Ladies Golf Association championships (1958-61).  She was runner-up in 1956.  She won eight Wawonowin Country Club women's titles in a 12-year span, then stopped playing in the tournament to give others an opportunity.  Club pro Si Clements called Levine "the best competitive match play golfer I've ever seen." She died in 1993.
