"Betty" Hicks (November 16, 1920 – February 20, 2011)[1][2] was an American professional golfer, golf coach and teacher, aviator, and author. She also competed under her married name, Betty Hicks Newell. Hicks was born in Long Beach, California.[1] As an amateur golfer, she won the 1941 U.S. Women's Amateur[3] and was Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year. She turned professional later that year. Hicks competed on the LPGA Tour, finishing second several times in the 1950s but never winning.[4] She finished second in the U.S. Women's Open in 1948[5] and 1954[6] and third in 1957. She won the All American Open, which would later become a LPGA Tour event, in 1944. Hicks coached the women's golf team at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California, where she also coordinated the aviation department.[2] As an author, Hicks co-authored the book "Golf Manual for Teachers" with Ellen Griffin in 1949. In 1996, she co-authored "Patty Sheehan on Golf" with Patty Sheehan. In 2006, she wrote "My Life: From Fairway to Airway" which chronicles her life in golf and her second career as a pilot.[7] Hicks is a member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Hall of Fame,[8] the Long Beach Golf Hall of Fame,[9] San Jose Sports Hall of Fame,[10] the Women's Sports Foundation International Hall of Fame,[11] the California Golf Writers Hall of Fame, and the International Forest of Friendship Aviation Hall of Fame.[12] In 1999, she won the Ellen Griffin Rolex award for her efforts in helping the LPGA grow and in teaching the game of golf to women. Hicks is sometimes confused with contemporary Helen Hicks, who won the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1931. Hicks died on February 20, 2011, from Alzheimer's disease.[2][13] References1. ^1 {{cite book |last1=Elliott |first1=Len |first2=Barbara |last2=Kelly |title=Who's Who in Golf |year=1976 |publisher=Arlington House |location=New Rochelle, New York |isbn=0-87000-225-2 |pages=89–90}} {{Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year navbox}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hicks, Betty}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|work=USGA.com |url=http://www.usga.org/news/2011/February/1941-Women-s-Am-Champ-Hicks-Dies/ |title=Professional Pioneer, 1941 Women's Am Champ Hicks Dies |date=February 22, 2011 |accessdate=February 23, 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110303193638/http://www.usga.org/news/2011/February/1941-Women-s-Am-Champ-Hicks-Dies/ |archivedate=March 3, 2011 |df=mdy }} 3. ^1941 U.S. Women's Amateur 4. ^LPGA Tournament Chronology, 1950s {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102110028/http://www.lpga.com/content/Chronology50-59.pdf |date=January 2, 2010 }} 5. ^1948 U.S. Women's Open 6. ^1954 U.S. Women's Open 7. ^{{cite book |last=Hicks |first=Betty |authorlink=Betty Hicks |title=My Life: From Fairway to Airway |date=October 30, 2006 |publisher=iUniverse |isbn=978-0-595-41434-5 }} 8. ^LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Hall of Fame 9. ^Long Beach Golf Hall of Fame {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090305105145/http://www.longbeach.gov/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=18019 |date=March 5, 2009 }} 10. ^Members of the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100802053158/http://www.sjsa.org/hall_of_fame/inductees.asp |date=August 2, 2010 }} 11. ^Women's Sports Foundation {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100620094358/http://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/Content/Athletes/H/Hicks-Elizabeth-Betty.aspx |date=June 20, 2010 }} 12. ^Six Voted into LPGA T&CP Division Hall of Fame's Inaugural Class {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061029212425/http://www.golfsupport.com/2000/lpgahalloffame.htm |date=October 29, 2006 }} 13. ^{{cite web |work=LPGA.com |url=http://www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?pid=27466&mid=6 |title=One of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional founders, Betty Hicks, passed away on Sunday| date=February 20, 2011 |accessdate=February 22, 2011 }} 12 : American female golfers|LPGA Tour golfers|Winners of ladies' major amateur golf championships|Golfers from California|American women writers|American aviators|Female aviators|Sportspeople from Long Beach, California|People from Cupertino, California|Deaths from Alzheimer's disease|1920 births|2011 deaths |
