Earlier this month, we had the chance to visit Leonard Golf Links and visit with 2011 HOF inductee Marty Leonard. Leonard is the daughter of course builder Marvin Leonard, the legendary businessman and close friend of Ben Hogan. Golf Links is owned and operated by Marty Leonard, whose family created three golf cornerstones in North Texas: 

colonialfortworth
Shady Oaks Country Club
Starr Hollow Golf Club

Ms. Leonard has kept her father’s love of golf going in the family. A graduate of Southern Methodist University, she owns Leonard Golf Links Practice/Teaching Facility and owns two buildings occupied by the Nike Golf Center in Fort Worth. 

She has also done tremendous amounts of philanthropic work with Lena Pope. She has made an incredible impact through her efforts championing improvements for children and families within the Lena Pope organization for more than half of a century. Ms. Leonard is also involved in many other projects in the community, serving on multiple boards and committees. 

Swipe through to see some pictures of Ms. Leonard, her facility, and her history. The footprints pictured are her own: she went out and walked around in her metal toed golf shoes after the concrete was poured. After coming back the next day and seeing the contractor had smoothed it over, she came back and left the footprints again - this time explaining her intent.
