HALL OF FAME

Toni Wiesner Inducted into Texas Golf Hall of Fame in 2010

Toni Wiesner was one of the founding members of LAGA™ in 1989. Her accomplished amateur career is mirrored by her reputation in the amateur golf community as one of the truly gracious legends of the game. Anyone who had the privilege of playing with or against Toni Wiesner will remember her as a fierce competitor but a woman with class both on and off the course. Toni did not begin playing golf until the age of 23, but that did not stop her from being one of only two players to compete in all 22 US Women's Mid Amateur Championships prior to her death at the age of 62 in 2009. Amongst her many national victories were the following: The West Texas Women's Amateur, the Southern Women's Amateur, the Mexican Women's Amateur (twice), the International Four Ball with her partner Carol Semple Thompson (twice), the Broadmoor Invitational, the Doherty Cup, the British Senior Women's Amateur. She also qualified to play in the USGA Senior Women's Amateur Championship 12 times and finishing as runner up in that event 3 times. She also holds the record established at Williamsburg, Golden Horseshoe as medalist with a total of 135 (67 & 68) a phenomenal senior record of play. In addition to her 22 USGA Mid-Am appearances (even qualifying for the event in 2009 however passing away prior to the tournament), she also qualified to play in the USGA Women's Amateur 17 times and 4 times was able to achieve the elite accomplishment of qualifying for the USGA Women's Open Championship. Toni represented her home state of Texas 4 times while playing in the USGA Women's State Team. Her national achievements, which were many, were also matched by her local accolades including winning the Texas Women's Amateur five times and 3 runner up finishes over a 3 decade long run in the event. and the Dallas Morning News Tournament of Champions 14 times. During her career she had 11 holes in one. Toni proudly worked with children at the Special Olympics golf and for the USGA Junior Girls committee. Toni began her golfing career while at Houston Baptist University and finished her college career at TCU. One of the greatest golfing true stories about Toni happened when she and her husband Robert lived in Houston and played at Atascosita Country Club. Toni as usual played from the men's tees; over the July 4th weekend some people heard Red Adair's Lawyer, Carol Weaver say that "no woman could beat him". Well, of course, the bet was on - $100 per hole, then $200 per hole and finally when he was down $1800 on the 18th tee, Carol pressed the bet. Toni, as always, hit a great drive and was on the green in two and Carol proceeded to dump his second shot in the water, and stormed off the course in front of the large crowd that had gathered to watch. He did however pay the backers who had set up the little "hustle in Houston". Toni Wiesner was truly a Texas Golfing Legend and to be compared to Toni is a compliment of the highest honor.
