Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Jo-Ann Lindsay started playing golf at a young age before moving to Minnesota and playing little if any golf for a sixteen-year period. After her time away from the game, Lindsay in 1987 made a splash in her return finishing fifth in the MWGA Women’s State Amateur and qualifying for the USGA Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship. In 1991, Lindsay won her first senior title, the Minnesota Senior Women’s State Match Play Championship and went on to win the event four more times (1999-2000, 2004, 2007). She partnered with fellow 2012 Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame inductee Nancy Foss Harris to win nine consecutive MWGA Senior Four-Ball Championships from 1997 – 2005. Lindsay also won the 1994 and 2005 Minnesota Women’s Senior Amateur Championship and was named the MGA Senior Women Player of the Year in 1995 and 2003.
