Judy Williams-Johnson will be teaching a new kind of swing these days. The former longtime Central High School music teacher recently earned her Ladies Professional Golf Association card, one of the first women in the region to do so.
It's an impressive accomplishment, considering she shot a 78 from the 5,800-yard men's tees at the Hermitage golf course in Nashville to earn her card.
Williams-Johnson is taking her talents global as she moves to England with her new husband. She plans to teach golf and will be associated with golf courses at Lakenheath and Mildenhall. She also plans to play some of the great courses in Scotland, where golf began.
We wish Williams-Johnson good luck and great golfing in her new profession across the ocean. Her future tee-time in England is rich with opportunity.
