FROM THE LPGA WEBSITE
The Georgia State Golf Association has inducted the 2012 class into the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek.
Vicki Goetze-Ackerman was one of the four new inductees as she's one of Georgia's most decorated female golfers at the national level, winning two U.S. women's amateur titles and who represented her country four times in international team events, including two Curtis Cup matches.
Others inducted were Richard Crawford, Alfred "Tup" Holmes, and Gene Sauers.
Vicki Goetze was born in 1972 in Mishicot, Wisconsin. The family moved to Georgia and most of her golf accomplishments occurred during the time they lived in Hull, just outside Athens.
Professionally, Goetze-Ackerman qualified for the LPGA Tour on her first attempt in the fall of 1993 and played for 16 years before retiring as a full-time member. Her best finish was a tie for second in the 2000 and 2004 Corning Classics.
She served on the LPGA Player Executive Committee and Board of Directors in 2005-2007 and was President of the Association in 2007. In 2006, she was honored with the William and Mousie Powell Award, chosen by her peers, as the player whose behaviour and deeds best exemplifies the spirit, ideals and values of the LPGA.
Goetze-Ackerman and her husband, Jim, have one son, Jake. They reside in the Tampa, Florida, area where she teaches at Buckhorn Springs Golf and Country Club.
+Vicki Goetze played for the US in the Curtis Cup matches at Somerset Hills, New Jersey (1990) and Hoylake (1992) where Caroline Hall beat Vicki by one hole in the last match to finish on the last day to clinch a 10-8 victory for GB and I.
