Michele Redman has found success at numerous levels of golf. After a 20-year professional career, she will now try her hand as head coach of the Gophers women’s golf team.

Redman played on the boys’ varsity golf team at Zanesville High School in Zanesville, Ohio, where she was one of the top two players on the team.

“We didn’t have a girls’ golf team at my high school so I had to play on the boys’ team,” Redman said. “I think I started realizing in high school that there was something there for me.”

Former associate women’s golf coach Katie Brenny will bring her sexual discrimination lawsuit against the University of Minnesota to court Thursday.

The hearing in the Minnesota Court of Appeals could set a trial date in her suit against former golf director John Harris.

When Brenny took the job as Gophers associate women’s head golf coach in the summer of 2010, she thought she had her dream job. Instead, the aspiring professional golfer found herself at a desk, handling paperwork and only interacting with players in a mentorship role — not coaching.

In six years as a varsity golfer at Minneapolis’ Breck School, senior Anna Laorr has made Craig Teiken’s job pretty easy. Like many elite amateur golfers, Laorr — who last week won Minnesota’s girls’ Class 2A state title — has been playing since elementary school and had her swing more or less down before she ever played a round of high school golf.


“At the state tournament I didn’t have to say anything to her,” said Teiken, Breck’s varsity girls’ golf coach. “That’s a coach’s dream.”

Blurb: 
On the men's side, another future Gopher Tyler Lowenstein took third.

After posting one of the best regular season records in the program’s recent history, the No. 40 Minnesota women’s golf team has high hopes heading into the Big Ten Championships this weekend.

Unfortunately for Minnesota, history is not on its side when it comes to the conference tournament.

In the past decade, the Gophers have not finished better than seventh place and have posted four last-place finishes in that same span.

The last and only time the Gophers have managed to win the Big Ten Championships was in 1989.
