Timeline

1945

Liv Wollin (née Forsell) (born 17 April 1945) is a Swedish professional golfer, who is regarded as having been one of the best Swedish female amateur players ever.

Wollin grew up in Lidingö outside Stockholm, Sweden, as the only girl among five siblings.

Her parents were Jacob Forsell and Mette, nee Grut, and they were not golfers.

1958

She started out golf in 1958 as a caddie at Lidingö Golf Club close to their house.

With few girls playing the game in those days, she usually played with boys.

Her older brother Joachim (called "Kim") and Swedish elite amateur Gustav Adolf Bielke were both role models for her while learning the game at young age.

She always preferred to develop her golfing abilities by playing on the course instead of practicing a lot on the driving range.

Her swing technique was characterized by a short and quick backswing, just like the one of G. A. Bielke.

Other sports she practiced, was curling, bowling, table tennis and squash.

1960

By saving the money, she received from her father, who was a medical doctor, for not smoking before 18 years of age, she financed a Volkswagen Beetle car, to travel with between golf tournaments in Sweden in the early 1960s, often with best golfing friend Cecilia Perslow (who 1967 married French golfer Gaëtan Mourgue d'Algue).

1963

In 1963, 18 years old, she won two of three major amateur championships in Sweden at that time and won individually the stroke-play part at the European Ladies' Team Championship.

In 1963, 18 years old, Wollin earned Elite Sign No. 41 by the Swedish Golf Federation, on the basis of national team appearances and national championship performances.

1964

Wollin represented Sweden in ten consecutive World Amateur Team Golf Championships, the Espirito Santo Trophy, between 1964 and 1982, a record beaten only by Marina Ragher from Italy.

1965

The same year, she advanced to the third round of the British Ladies Amateur, a feat she repeated in 1965 at St Andrews.

Wollin reached the final of the Swedish closed championship eleven times and won ten of them.

1966

Wollin and Perslow in 1966 came to meet in the final of the Swedish Match-play Championship when Perslow was the defending champion.

Wollin won the match, played at Perslow's home course Örebro Golf Club.

She became the first Swedish golfer with international success and had a long amateur career.

Despite playing mostly in Scandinavia, she several times proved to be among the best female amateur golfers in the world.

In 1966 in Mexico City, Wollin finished tied fourth individually.

Wollin was twice awarded Swedish Golfer of the Year, male and female, 1966 and 1968.

In 1966, she was awarded Swedish Sportswomen of the Year.

1968

12 years earlier, in 1968, Wollin reached the semi-finals.

Wollin also won the open amateur championships of Sweden, Morocco and Portugal.

For the 1968 Espirito Santo Trophy in Melbourne, Australia, the Swedish Golf Federation decided, by economic reasons, to not send a team, but Wollin initiated to collect the necessary sponsorship to make the trip.

In the end, the Swedish team finished fourth and Wollin sixth individually.

Winning the title for the eight time in 1973 at Halmstad Golf Club, she had to play 39 holes in the final against Anna Skanse.

Wollin was pregnant in her sixth month, six holes down after 21 holes and never leading the final until the end after the third extra hole.

1975

At the 1975 European Ladies' Team Championship at Golf de Saint-Cloud, outside Paris, France, Wollin again won individually at the qualification competition, as she did 12 years earlier.

In the quarter-final between Sweden and, champions to be, France, Wollin defeated former U.S. Women's Open champion Catherine Lacoste, 3 and 2, on her home soil.

1976

In the 1976 event, Wollin again finished tied third, this time with Debbie Massey, after winner Nancy Lopez and runner-up Catherine Lacoste.
