Coming of Age: LPGA's youth is being noticed.(Daily Press (Newport News, Va.))
Byline: David Teel
JAMES CITY, Va. _ Dorothy Delasin was 8 years old when her father offered a choice: slice and dice onions in the family restaurant, or slice and shank irons on the driving range.
Reluctantly, Delasin chose golf.
"I didn't really like it," she says. "But when you're 8 years old, which would you rather do?"
Talk about wise career moves. Two years later, Delasin won the San Francisco city junior championship. The feel of that trophy in her hands lingers still.
"It was like I was born to play golf," she says. "I told my dad that day, `I'm going to play professional golf.' "
Delasin's pre-adolescent revelation was hardly unique, witness the kiddie-corps field for this week's inaugural Michelob Light Open at Kingsmill. More than one-fifth of the competitors (31 of 144) are 25 or younger, a testament to the worldwide growth of women's amateur golf and a harbinger of the LPGA Tour's long-term viability.
